    Magic.

    Don't think about it too hard.

    Just accept and do exactly what the religious leaders say.

    Or else.

    At some point in the distant past, the universe went through a phase of cosmic inflation,
    Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.
    Through a long process of evolution this life 
    developed into the human race.
    Humans conquered fire, built complex societies and advanced technology .

    All of that so we can argue about nothing.

    @maxx. Kind of a dumb question that really comes down to, whether you believe in the existence of God.

    The answer would be God told them not to eat from it.

    and satan told them to do so'. if they have yet to know good from evil then they did not know disobedience was a sin@MichaelElpers

    @maxx ; Adam and Eve, like you and I, had the objective moral law of God written upon their heart at creation (Romans 2:15) and they knew right from wrong and Adam had received the edict to not compromise with evil directly from God, Jesus Christ-Yeshua, our Creator.

    Or perhaps Satan was actually a good spirit trying to free Adam and Eve from the reins of this Demiurge? At least that is what is suggested by Gnostics anyway. As well as them suggesting that Jesus Christ is basically the same spirit of the Serpent from the Garden of Eden.

    "What do the gnostics believe?
    Gnostics believed that the story of creation found in the Bible was a lie and that God wasn't actually the one responsible for the creation of our world, at least not directly. They claim the evidence of this comes from the imperfection, tragedy, and evil in our world. A good God could never have created it."

    I wonder what book did the Gnostics base their opinions, or perceptions on?

    many people believe that the eden story was a metaphor for sexual innocence and the act itself. yet, regardless, before they took of the fruit (according to the bible) they had no idea thjat what they were doing was a sin. They were blameless and were set up to fall. god tells them whom has no idea it is wrong to not to partake? it is not until they took the fruit that they understood sin so they should be considered blameless. @ZeusAres42

    They obviously did not; they were mentally ill and could not think straight. I mean, they allegedly saw a talking snake...

    What would you do if you saw a talking snake? I do not know about you, but I would go to a doctor.
  • maxxmaxx 1131 Pts   -  
    well, assuming it was correct; the serpent was taken over by satan and the poor snakes had to pay for what they did not by losing their limbs and going on their bellies;  it is a kind of interesting coincidence that snakes actually did once have hind feet@MayCaesar
