Meanwhile, in mere reality..there was no adam and eve - full stop. If the authors of magic book were writing today, it would read "and then god cursed them to sit in a cubicle for the rest of their days" - because the point of that story was not to record history, but to explain a then-current state of human affairs.
yes by ADDING TO Cannon.
You say that like your "resolution" doesn't. I don't see the point, personally. Why add something that doesn't resolve the paradox when you can simply and truthfully say "fuckers had no idea what they were talking about"? The answer is always right there, it's just a book. Gods, even if they did exist, don't give a shit about magic books. They didn't write them, they don't vouch for their accuracy. They don't descend from on high with a highlighter and whiteout.
To the extent that a magic book is wrong, or bigoted, or just simply outdated...is a thoroughly human problem. Treating the peculiar psyche of the author as though it were a god is the height of heretical inanity.
-but you do you...right? You can make your god as small and ignorant as you need it to be in order to justify your own dickish myopia, lol. I'll keep on mentioning how hilarious it is when a person does this and then insists that it's those filthy godless atheists who aren't taking the idea seriously.
