The Fall is Coming

So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

(Genesis 3:6-7) NKJV

The issue that complicates resolving this right now is that something has to happen which changes an intelligent bipedal reptilian humanoid into a limbless snake.

A Talking Snake?

And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

(Genesis 3:2-5) NKJV

Atheist science trolls (ASTs) like to ask probing questions which make Christians look stupid. Let’s as a question of our own: Where in the passage above does it say that Eve talked with a snake?

Declaring the End: Cause and Effect

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

(Isaiah 46:10) KJV

Interpreting Bible passages works best when we understand something referred to as the broad narrative. There are some prevailing themes which are consistent from one end of the Bible to the other and back again. With this in mind we can make sense out of Bible passages which may otherwise look totally random.

Good for Food

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

(Genesis 2:8-9) KJV

Here’s an example of a common Christian-bait question:

  • IF Adam had fruit to eat in the garden of Eden,
    • AND the other animals were all herbivores,
  • THEN why do snakes have venomous fangs?

A Tree is Known by its Fruit

To have good fruit you must have a healthy tree; if you have a poor tree, you will have bad fruit. A tree is known by the kind of fruit it bears.

(Matthew 12:33) Good News Translation

If a tree is known by its fruit then avoid trees with bad fruit. Stay away from people if you know they’re going to swear. Don’t engage with people if you know that they’re going to emit a stream of verbal effluence.

Profane, Idle False Knowledge

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV

Something which is false knowledge, say mainstream science (SciPop), would otherwise be called a lie. Lying is part of a list of behaviors which are a syndrome which includes swearing.
