We are entitled to our views, hopefully we can learn to live in peace and not kill each other to support our views, after all we do share a common mother back 6000 generations
Of course she may have slept with several blokes and so we could have different fathers. Maybe that is where the argument - my father is better than your father came from.
So we have
In the beginning - well after a lot of apes was Eve - blackish, small, probably 13 or 14 and pregnant. Whose was the killer sperm that got her pregnant no one knows. We know it is unlikely her baby crawled and she probably carried it for 80% of its first year. Did she know she had founded the human race - no cause she was fending off a lot of sexual advances as they didn't have EEO laws then and she dinna need another baby. etc:
May Genesis 1:3 is easy to teach young kids and let them find out the bald truth later. I reckon a girl needs to be at least 16 before she is taught about killer sperm. Being a father of daughters can be hard.
Was she in the garden of eden - bloody unlikely as she was in the heart of Africa and that is not a nice place to raise a family - then or now.
Does knowing all of this change the 10 commandments or the thought to love another - nah just now we can say we are all family and family should not fight. Or hell Cain and Abel - bed time
