Adam and Eve and sin
I don't have time to read through all of the comments here, and I doubt anyone will have the energy to read mine,so maybe someone has pointed this out-- but anyone familiar with Genesis should realize that the sin which cast Adam and Eve out of Paradise wasn't having sex, but disobeying a direct command from God not to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil--which they did because they wanted to be like God. God told his creation to be fruitful and multiply, and we don't know if Adam and Eve had any children in Eden, or exactly when and where Cain and Abel were born. Then again, if it was Paradise.....(sorry, visions of an afternoon free of squabbling and tattling are almost too much to bear!).
