Did the Earth magically change at that point? I doubt it. All that changed was Adam and Eve's percetion of ALL THAT WAS GOOD to an awareness of good/evil, pleasure/pain, joy/sorrow, etc...
They started to be aware of things that were not... I.E. not clothed, not their fault, not simply life but a new awareness of duallity, the created and the non-existent.
have fun attempting to ridicule that...
The Bible says.....he he, ha ha, ho ho. You do realize that the accumulated knowledge of the human species makes your single source for truth absurd...but, perhaps not.
How exactly does one hide from your God? Adam could tell us because God went to Eden and couldn't find him. Or was this just the first game of hide and seek? So much for omniscience.
You also claim that Adam and Eve blamed everyone but themselves. Exactly who was everybody else when they, as reported, were the only two people on the face of the Earth?
