Years? I thought the whole purpose of the 'written word of god' was to make things simple. I found it quite legible. I read the English version (KJV).
It may take years to find solutions and answers to the contradictions and debauchery however.

With sin as part of their lives God would not let them eat from the tree of life. Eternal life is only for the sinless and that is accomplished through the last Adam who is Jesus Christ. This is becoming redundant so if you can not understand it then just say so, I'm not going to waste anymore time with this, to many other things to get accomplished.
So the tree of knowledge was real and the tree of life was symbolic? How do you people keep up with all this? (I guess that is part of the 'years' thing)

If all Adam and eve had to do was eat an apple, what do you think the things in your life will say your god? I already know the answer to that. You have created god in your own image and you two agree on everything. If it goes against logic, it is symbolic (or "The mystery of god"). If it agrees with your point, it is literal.
BTW ... You do realize that this is an Atheist Forum, right? We think no differently of you than if you came here professing a belief in Santa Clause or even Zeus.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
