A new version of the events.

Everybody, or at least most of those reading these words will know the story. From my point of view it has been mistold, the real story is purposely hidden, due to people’s desire to remain ignorant. What you are about to read will add no further details, nor events, just reinterpret them.

Let’s review the basic events as related in Genesis. In a garden, east of Eden, lived Adam and Eve, in either bliss or ignorance, an outside viewer, such as ourselves, might have a hard time discerning which it was. When low and behold, Satan, an agent of The Creator, under Jewish thought, and bound to the rules The Creator proclaimed, appeared. Christian thought has a different view, but it is not their book, so am going with the original thought.

Satan went on for some bit about the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Lets take that in for a moment. Since they had no knowledge that one thing or another was wrong and a different thing was right, how had they behaved? The book gives few if any clues. All we know for sure is that in the evening The Creator would stop by, and they would converse, maybe have a sort of communion, it is a little vague on exactly what went on, though the time of day is certain.

Eventually, after maybe a lot of thought, wondering, going back and forth, or maybe just going for it, Eve took the bait and a bite. She was hooked. What exactly that meant is not well spelled out, but she went to Adam and said something…
