[QUOTE="elephanticity, post: 158935, member: 1768"] Okay, as it has been expressed: There was no death until the Fall. Man and animals w/in the Garden weren't subject to death as long as they were allowed to stay in there. God created each and every single thing in the Garden God told Adam he could eat the fruit of any tree, except one. Why was there even a tree of immortality in the first place? Why have it in a garden of immortals? Never mind whether A&E were competent to understand their actions, or why the angel with the flaming sword wasn't put there BEFORE they screwed up. I just can't see any reason to create a tree that would never be used. If it was one of the two things needed to make man into a God, and that was a bad thing, why weren't BOTH trees placed off limits? If God were omniscient, he may have had a reason to set A&E up for the Fall, so that everything else could happen. But no one ate it, and it seems it would have been easier to not make it, and not leave an angel guarding it, if it doesn't add anything to the story. Unless, he was saving it to sell to Odin, for the Norse myth of the golden apples that kept the Gods immortal.... [/QUOTE]
