The first woman

19/1/2018
Are you still wandering around a fabulous garden eating fruit all on your own. God said 'It isn't good for man to be alone; I will make a companion for him, a helper suited to his needs'.  It was then that the animals were formed from the earth, but the man was still alone.  God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep and he took a rib from his cage and formed it into a woman. When Adam (now his name is mentioned) saw the woman (name not mentioned) He said something like 'Wow' 'This is it. This is what I have been waiting for' Now the next sentence I find very strange because Adam says 'This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife in such a way as two become one'. Whoa, hold your horses where did parents and wives and husbands suddenly come from? How can the first man say about the first woman this is why all men leave their parents to become one with the woman.  This supports my idea that there were other people (male and female)made at the same time as Adam. In fact whole communities quickly established for this statement to be made other wise we're back to incest again.
Well there you have it Sky , Seas, Earth, a beautiful garden in a sinless world with vegetarian animals and 2 vegetarian humans to start off the whole business of life on earth. What could be better and what could go wrong?  The couple have all the animals at their command and all the fruit to pick off the trees to eat and they have each other.
Another days ponder of the idyllic life. Bliss!!!!
Stay tuned for what happens next.
Bye for now
