    If he just started over, it would likely just happen again and we would be in the same predicament. The question needed to be answered.

    Sounds like the answer isn't the one God wants to hear.

    The obvious assumption being made here is that man was meant to remain in the Garden forever, being like happy little butterflies flitting around the flowers without a care in the world.

    Instead, we have more opportunities than that. There is also no indication that they ever would have had children in the Garden, since it wasn't until after partaking of the forbidden fruit that their eyes were opened and they realized they were naked. Up until then they were in a childlike innocence that could have gone on indefinitely.

    Personally, I think they got a bum rap being blamed for all the evils in the world.

    "There is also no indication that they ever would have had children in the Garden"

    -- be fruitful and subdue the earth much?

    Yes, the answer seems to be one that god can't accept, yet it would be an answer. MYTH!!!

    Sounds as if there was a flaw in the overall design. Time to scrap it all, and go back to the drawing board.

    "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again."

    If a terrible flaw occurred now days, in a product, that resulted in deaths, let alone millions of deaths, that product would be recalled. Most companies and products have a quality control group, that oversee the making and safety of products.

    Is this Jehovah's excuse? He had no quality control? So he now has this group, the JW's. They are telling all of his weaknesses, and that he is going to start all over.

    TOO LATE!!! Why didn't you do this a long time ago!!! You screwed up!! Oh?? Really? Never mind, I didn't realize this was only a fairytale. Sorry, my bad.

    No children in the Garden??? I thought the commission to adam and eve was to spread the garden earthwide???

    Does one mistake render a previously perfect specimen utterly sinful? Does the punishment fit the crime of the original man? The way it is supposed to have been set up by god, none of his offspring had a choice, ever.

    I posed this same question to my mother when I was a young child. I asked why didn't god just make a new man and woman? mom said that isn't the way god does things.

    I guess he who makes the game makes the rules.

    No because the story of Adam and Eve is a parable.
