1st Day- Let there be light.
2nd Day- sea vs sky
3rd Day- plants
4th Day- sun, moon, stars
5th Day- fish, birds
6th Day- earth creatures, man/woman
PLOT TWIST
-nothing but streams from the earth, man from dust
-man into garden, animals into garden, but *sadface* no suitable mate
-enter eve, from adam's rib
Then eve went and ruined everything, by taking the apples from the snake and giving it to her husband. Thanks eve.
I have heard this story so many times since I was a little kid, so I really have no novel response. My response is slightly jaded because of the over exposure and I apologize for that. But something inside me can't help but boil when I think about how people take this for fact when factual evidence suggests otherwise.
Nevertheless here are some of my thoughts:
I want to respectful to all people's beliefs, but I'm going to be honest, if this is the truth, God has some explaining to do. Like, what is science? Or consistency?
It makes me pretty irritated that the woman in the story is blamed for the debacle. I know, I know, her husband was with her! he shares blame! but the point remains that it was the woman who has the conversation with the snake and takes the apple. And now he gets to rule over her? Umm, how about no.
My Origin: I was born in Texas, spent a few years in Ohio, I've lived in Kentucky since Kindergarten and every time I think about it I am beyond thankful that my parents moved to Lexington. I would not have fared well in little corn town Ohio. I'm not really sure what else there is to say about my origins. I watched I Dream of Jeanie as a child. Oh, and That's So Raven. I can't help but think those shows had a substantial impact on my development.
***I feel the need to apologize for this blog post. I just had a cup of coffee and am not entirely confident in the content I have just written. Sorry about that
