The story of Adam and Eve was related to me at school. But what was missing from this story is the fact that I wasn`t told that the Jews of Antiquity only believed in its allegorical message. Adam represents 'humanity' and Eve also. The tree is similar to the tree in the garden of hesperides; its signifies 'knowledge' and the serpent coilded around the tree represents 'the evil one'.

On the whole what this story tells is God`s terror of science; knowledge.



When Eve tempts Adam with the apple she is giving him knowledge of her sexuality. This explains why an apple was choosen as a metaphor for her sexuality.



Cut an apple in half and look what you see? The female reproductive organs.



This story is merely rich symbolism and not literal at all.

Frankly, anyone who thinks it is literal is not going to be persuaded by this particular argument. Or perhaps any argument. It takes a profound adiction to believe shit like this literal.

?

It says, "apple?"





Gen. 4:1 And Adam, (an eponym for the whole species, Ramaphitecus Man), knew Eve, (mother of all hominoids), his wife (a virgin among the apes related to her); and she conceived, (through her line after hundreds of thousands of years), and bare Cain, (Ardipithecus ramidus), and said, I have gotten a man, (another species of hominoid), from the LORD, (Father Nature).

Damn, I wanna see some apple porn!

Adam was the "A" and Christ are the "Z."



Adam, (an eponym for the whole species, Ramaphitecus Man).

Cain, (Ardipithecus ramidus)

Abel, (Australopithecus anamensis).

Enoch, (Australopithecus afarensis, Lucy).

Irad (a species concurrent with Australopithecus boisei).

Mehujael (species concurrent with Australopithecus robustus).

Methusael (Homo ergaster, Early Homo erectus).

Lamech (Homo antecessor).

Pretty much everyone believes it is wrong to be naked. Yet we are born naked we have to find and make clothes to cover us up so technically it is unnatural to be clothed. Yet we believe it to be wrong which is why Adam and Eve did not believe their was anything wrong with their nudity until they ate the fruit of "knowledge" than they "knew" better that it was wrong thus the knowledge

Your tree might be right IF you had used Seth, not Able. Cain had offspring and yet your graph leaves his tree branches barren.

Good critical response, indeed.

It bothered me a little, too.



The thing is that, our paleontology is not very exact.

The chain from one species to the next is really implied by the observation of a gradual evolution over time by the species we have uncovered.



There are gaps, still.

And we need find more "missing links, " too.



The existence of these ever more advanced humonoids suggests that man's ascent was also advancing concurrently.

There is not necessarily a direct association with these skills and the Bible eponyms.



Able dies according to the Bible analogy.

Then, Eve has another evolution replacing Able.



The concurrent advancement of Cain does not appear on this Tree.

That does not rule out his link to concurrent species other than those species above on the tree.

Time will tell.



But, the species for Cain which is shown on the chart is the very compelling as the "Mark of Cain" for it first appeared with Ardipithecus ramidus.







Gen. 4:1 And Adam, (an eponym for the whole species, Ramaphitecus Man), knew Eve, (mother of all hominoids), his wife (a virgin among the apes related to her); and she conceived, (through her line after hundreds of thousands of years), and bare Cain, (Ardipithecus ramidus), and said, I have gotten a man, (another species of hominoid), from the LORD, (Father Nature).





Gen. 4:15 And the LORD, (Reality, God of the Living), said unto him, Therefore (whatever form of wild life) whosoever slayeth Cain, (Ardipithecus ramidus man), vengeance (by this humanoid species, Ardipithecus ramidus) shall be taken on him sevenfold, (as man’s natural enemy). And the LORD set a mark, (one of bipedalism), upon Cain, (Ardipithecus ramidus), lest any (wild creatures) finding him should kill him.

Actually the Garden of Eden represents KINDER GARTEN. Mankind [ADAM] starts out as a Child, Not knowing Good and Evil. and SOCIETY teaches him. As he get older he get to have SEX and then has to go out and WORK! while women have CHILDREN.

Anyone that doesnt believe the story of Adam and Eve, doesnt believe in the Bible.

And so you still think that the earth is flat? It's what the Bible teaches.

IT seems that you lack a lot of education. Perhaps you were asleep in Biology class.
