How did Adam and Eve survive?

Philis · Jul 20, 2012

This is meant to be a little light-hearted.

How did Adam and Eve survive after being booted out of the garden? There are all sorts of predators in the world, and they wouldn't have been fast. They wouldn't have known anything about how they operate. In fact, they were all nice to Adam when he named them. So now he's out of the garden and sees his old friend, the lion. What's stopping the lion from eating him?

Think about this, if you took a person that lived in isolation for 15 years, and then stuck him out in the wild, how long do you think he would last? He wouldn't know about making weapons, gathering food, avoiding predators, the need to cook food, how to start fires, that some plants are poisonous, etc. In the wild you learn things the hard way. I imagine this person would be dead pretty quick.

So how did Adam and Eve manage to survive?

And another question, why would they have been ashamed to be naked? If you are alone with your spouse do you feel ashamed to be naked?

I would say Adam and Eve KNEW EVERYTHING. Before their sin, they are in charge of everything on the earth. After they sinned, they even gain the knowledge of good and evil. And their bodies was nearly perfect. They are not much different from superman and superwoman. (They are even 100% sure that God is real).

In the book "The life of Adam and Eve" it *allegedly* describes it im not being a heretic (lol) its clearly not part of the bible, Mark Kennedy looked at it, i just thought it was very very interesting.

The First Book of Adam and Eve

and that was a very good question philis to go from perfection to fallen world

They were created perfect, so that means physically, they would have been stronger, faster, and more agile than we are. They were also created with knowledge already built into their brains. Adam already knew a language when he named the animals, and Eve spoke spoke it when the serpent tempted her. So, I think they did know how to survive in "the wild." i.e. Adam's walking along one day and sees a lion. He promptly changes course so as to not get to close to it!

Which language was that?

Oh, I have no idea what it was called. The language that people were using up until the Tower of Babel.

No no. The lion should be the one quickly change course.
Or both of them don't. They just passed by and say Hello.

It was the knowledge of good and evil that separated them from God.

As soon as they 'knew' good from bad, the first thing they saw was 'boobies!' ...Not much has changed.

Yeah, pretty much. Though Eve probably had a slightly different take on that.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation:

>Adam and Eve eat the fruit<

Adam: My God, Eve! Why are you standing there with your boobs all hanging out? What, do you think you are God's gift to mankind or somethin'?! >covers Eve's top half with fig leaves<

Eve: Me?! You're the one with that junk slapping around between your legs! Doesn't look like God bothered to finish molding you. >covers Adam's bottom half<

Adam: Well, if I have to cover my crotch up, you are covering yours too! >covers Eve's bottom half<

Eve: Yeah? Well somebody oughtta cover your face! ...

>God interrupts< "Who told you you were naked?"

Adam: It's her fault!

Eve: Nuh uh! It's the snake's fault!

And off we go.

Genesis 3:21

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

What does someone think this is? God made it for them....

But a lot of tribes hang around naked and it doesn't matter to them. Being ashamed of being naked is a part of our cultural up bringing don't you think?

Bah, when you examine the joke, you kill it.

Although, I would say that all cultures have some sort of outward adornment that signals 'respectability'. Maybe paint, or beads, or a certain hairstyle. It seems that the only people who truly know how to run around naked are small children.
