Think Before You Act


Genesis Chapters 3-9

As I dedicate the first part of the Genesis to the most boring movie in history ever since, I finally arrive to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. When the woman, got to the tree, the serpent had a human face hidden behind the leaves of the trees, since the director mentioned in the previous blog, didn't know how to make a serpent act. As Adam receives the fruit with no question at all, which is kind of stupid being since he knew he shouldn't eat from the tree. As he eats, nonchalantly, he sees, that he is naked. "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons".(Gen.3 7)I didn't know, they knew how to sew, but in the movie, they came with leaves as God called them, "And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?". (Gen.3 9) As Adam answers "I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself". (Gen.3 10) It was so foolish saying that. He practically gave in, just by saying he was naked. But what is even worse is how he betrays the woman."And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat".(Gen.3 12)If I were Eve, I would like kill him. Even though she did fall for the snake's lie and she deserved the worse punishment, but the fool of Adam should have stopped her, and he ate the fruit without even thinking the great mistake he had done.

I still don't get how did humans were able to multiply. Adam and Eve had two sons, and then what? Even if they had more children it would be hard to multiply since supposedly, there cant be a son of the same kin. Anyways, Cain killed his brother, and in a far way land, he met a woman which became his wife and had children, not mentioning that they all lived about 300 hundred years, were did that woman appear in first place? "And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch". (Gen.4 17)He also started a city just like that. Weren't Adam and Eve the first humans, and they only had two sons in the beginning?

After thousands of generations, they finally reach Noah. It is when God decides randomly to "And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them".(Gen.6 7)I think God shouldn't take such quick decisions since in the end He said "And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neithes r will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done".(Gen.8 21)

I incorporated this video which shows Noah's Arch interpreted by Disney's Fantasia 2000. As it shows all the animals in pairs, the dragons and the unicorns stay laughing behind. No wonder why they don't exist anymore.
