There is no evidence that any living creature was immortal. Not one shred.
There were millions of years of animal life before any humans evolved.
None of the precursor species to the first humans were immortal.
Humans did not suddenly evolve immortality.
In fact the god in Genesis specifically says the immortality of Adam was looked on as something the god DID NOT WANT.
As far as the god in the Genesis myth goes, that god (as opposed to what the fool in this thread claims,)
that god SAYS in Genesis it DID experience evil.
Genesis 3:22-23 "Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever, therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken."
Data never even read the Bible.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
