Sexymama: I hear what you're saying, it's a parable, and that's how i look at it too. I'm just wondering if someone with a more literal view could 'splain me this.
Briana:
I guess i'm not really clear on the details of the story. The version i've heard is: God creates adam. Adam gets bored(or something, it's not really important for the purposes of this thread) so god creates eve. Adam and eve kick it with magical fig leaves hiding their unholy bits(god has a wicked sense of humor). God tells them not to eat of the tree of knowledge. Eve is tempted by the serpent(how freudian) and takes a bite from the apple. La di da, kicked out of eden.
Adam and eve are the only humans god created. And from these two, billions.
I've never heard mention of any city off in the distance, and i think it might change the level of importance of the story if, after being evicted for tasting of the tree of knowledge, they just wander over to her cousin's house in tikrit.
