3. The retroviral seqeunces inserted deterministically at some other time via DNA motifs and hence incorporate relative to phylogenetics.
It is good evidence of common descent, don't get me wrong, but it has possible answers in our scenario.

The so-called Fall of Man was a set up, as in planned all along. Adam and Eve had absolutely no concept of what right or wrong, or good and evil were. They knew nothing of what a consequence was either before they ate of the apple. In order for a person to be able to make such decisions they first must be able to understand these concepts, otherwise they are innocent children. As I've stated before, would you toss your children out into the world naked and ignorant the very first time they may have disobeied you? Would you be that much of an unfit parent. Would you demand that if some other parent did this to their children that they be arrested and charge as an unfit parent?

a brief history of Yawheh with the early hebrews :

more on god's unloving nature :

that should be enough for now..
I am always fascinated by how christians resolve the changing nature of god from the OT to the NT.

I'm amazed that when they read this myth of Adam and Eve that they don't actually see the flaw in it. It's so obvious you could drive a semi through it.
