I had a read and suspect that the author could usefully develop some of the spiritual senses - to reduce the amount of guesswork required in formulating such an account.
Jehovah is conventionally written JHVH. As it happens, in the same convention Eve is written HVH. Does that mean that the god of the Jews is both male and female?
By some accounts the god of the Jews lived in the tent (tabernacle) in the desert with Shekinah. Shekinah can be validly translated as: she who dwells in a tent.
The male-female pairing of gods goes back at least to the earliest Egyptian gods - 7 pairs of them - and they were regarded as self-generated, rather reminding of Melchizedek who, according to Paul, was without father and without mother.
The nature of evil rather depends upon whether we take the perspective of the victim. For example, marital conflict has effects upon children that they might regard as evil, while adults may see the same effects as unintended collateral damage.
"According to detailed computer simulations, a body about twice the size of Earth slammed into Uranus between 3 to 4 billion years ago. The impact created an oddity in our Solar System: the only planet that rotates on its side."
The problem of course is Bode's Law that predicts where planets should be. Uranus is the most distant of the almost exactly compliant planets.
If a body twice the size of Earth hit Uranus it must have disturbed its orbit quite a lot. Thus we have a problem: How does Uranus comply so well with Bode's Law?
Did the collision operate so precisely as to push Uranus into compliance or did some kind passing astronomer adjust Uranus afterwards?
And what happened to the incoming body afterwards?
This is going off the current topic stream, but I have been thinking a lot about this story the past couple months.
The story goes they could eat anything in the garden except from the tree of life. Depicted as bearing apples to fruit. Something had always struck me as odd about the apple, surely apples weren't off the menu. So I started thinking about what the "tree of life" could mean. It didn't take me long to realize that "eating from the tree of life" means to eat the fruits from life, in other words meat.
I am really enjoying all your posts on here, great thread!
Here are two Sumerian astronauts (birdmen) with two god-kings collecting fruit from the Tree of Life. Notice the handbags for carrying the "fruit". Notice also that the tree does not look much like a natural tree.
Above is Asar/Ashur in a craft that allows the god be all-seeing.
Notice that Asar/Ashur has rays ending in hands just as in Egyptian depictions of the sun god.

Very interesting pics thnx paul! The "fruit" in their hands looks like the shape of a heart once its picked too. Obviously as well as the last one.
Further in these thought I wondered if the snake was the meal, as the one "tempting" eve.

I do not think we will have another "flood" event, even in the bible the rainbow is representing that promise. Perhaps we did outgrow that danger.
We have not outgrown our own thoughts and knowledge though. With the passing of time, new things come and new things go. We might not be seeing extinction of entire civilizations, but we are experiencing this in the realms of knowledge. Washing away the realms of old thoughts, and making way for the new.
Persisting through all of this though, the message of Christ "we are forgiven" will never change. People need to know there is hope of overcoming our failings and moving past them, to be able to see what comes next. In most aspects of life, we are our own worst enemy.
>the message of Christ "we are forgiven" will never change.
In the view of some, if humans contain the divine spirit then there is nothing to forgive - all human actions being learning experiences by spirit when taking human form - with the inner spirit unable to be contaminated by the mortal and temporary human personality.
If that is true, religions are useful only for the earliest stages of human development.

I agree, but sometimes a reminder/acceptance can be required. Was what I had meant.
The way I said it came off a bit preachy. Basically what I think is important for progress is the thoughts "we can overcome our past deliberations". Similar to the teachings of Christ.
