God's injustice towards Adam and Eve

What do you mean by 'a reasonable result'?
alpha male Wrote:Could be. You've complained that they didn't show remorse (not sure why - people frequently do wrong and don't show remorse), but their hiding could be indicative of shame and remorse.
What I was wondering is why Eve so readily accepted the contradictory claims of the serpent, and why Adam appears to have just as readily accepted the fruit from Eve. Paul claims that Eve was deceived, but the deception apparently was no more sophisticated than "nuh-uh." Adam wasn't deceived, perhaps because it wasn't necessary-- just handing him the fruit was sufficient. It makes it seem as if god made little or no impression on the two, that they so easily turned against him.
alpha male Wrote:Eve didn't - she was deceived. Adam did. But what's the problem? A rejection isn't necessarily total and final.
It was, in their case. They demonstrated their rejection of god through an action that had very specific (and final) consequences.
alpha male Wrote:IMO the hiding does show that they had had emotional attachment to god.
If they did, it appears to have been fear. It doesn't make sense that fear would be the only --or the primary-- emotion they would associate with god, but it's the only one that I can recognize in the story.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
