Eden's Predicament
Eden's Predicament
“Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.
The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”
Genesis (2:8 - 2:9)
The human progression from a state of innocence to the knowledge of sin, misery, and death is led by the concept of treason. As in Nature, the notion of accountability for one's actions is non-existent; we, as living beings, do abide. What matters is the survival of the species.
