Chapter 3
Now that I’m done exposing some of the contradictions and porn that the Bible has to offer, it is time to engage in some serious scholarly pursuits.
At this time, I would like to begin examining the validity of the primary tenets of Christian theology.
Were Adam and Eve the first people on the planet?
Did the Flood kill every person and every animal on Earth?
Do angels exist?
How did God talk to all of His prophets?
What is God’s name?
Does Hell exist?
Where do we go when we die?
Who is Satan?
Does Original Sin really exist?
Do we possess free will?
In the book, I spend a full two chapters (110 or so pages) exploring the scriptural answers to these questions. For now, we’ll just examine one of them.
God created Adam and Eve.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Ge 1:27, NKJV)
Christian theology tells us that these were the only two people on Earth. Period. After about a year of sticking it in the wrong orifice, Adam finally figured out how to use his pecker and Eve thus fell pregnant.
Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man.” Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. (Ge 4:1,2)
To this point in the story, it is not reported that Adam and Eve had any other children. According to the Scriptures, humanity consisted of only four people. That is, until Cain killed Abel.
Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. (Ge 4:8)
And then there were three: Adam, Eve, and Cain. If the Creation story is taken literally, then no other humans existed. Period.
And this he [God] said [to Cain]: “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground. And now you are cursed in banishment from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood at your hand.” (Ge 4:10,11, NWT)
God punished Cain by sending him to a distant land.
Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is more than I can bear. Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.” (Ge 4:13,14)
I don’t know what in the hell Cain was so worried about. If no one else existed on the planet, then who was going to kill him?
So Cain went out from the LORD’s presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden. Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. (Ge 4:16,17a)
Hold on a fucking second here! How in the hell did Cain take a wife?
Well, there is only one possible answer to that question: The land of Nod was populated before Cain arrived. Many devout Christians continue to argue that Adam and Eve may have spawned as many as 750 children after Cain and Abel. They go on to suggest that these other children could have populated Nod. Cain’s wife would therefore have been one of his distant relatives.
What a bunch of horseshit!
Such a theological concept is wholly conjectural and in no way based, even remotely, on the Scriptures. The Bible makes no suggestion that Adam and Eve had a third child until after Cain had already moved to Nod.
Adam lay with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.” (Ge 4:25)
Before this, Eve bore no child to replace Abel. Additionally, before the birth of Seth, it would not have been possible that Eve bore 1000-years worth of other children because she gave birth to Seth when Adam was only 130 years old.
When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. (Ge 5:3, ESV)
Only after Seth was born did Eve have other children.
The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died. (Ge 5:4, 5, ESV)
Let’s face it, the people in Nod were not related to Adam and Eve. They were a separate race of people, who were created separately from those in the Garden of Eden. As their region was already developed by the time Cain arrived, their creation may even have preceded that of Adam and Eve. Who knows, the people of Nod may even have been created by a different god!
As many of my readers may have already suspected, the story of Adam and Eve is fully mythical. Now, you know that you weren’t crazy for thinking so.
Christian theology is full of fabricated myths.
