If Adam and Eve, as the first humans created by God, knew nothing but paradise, it must be assumed that they were simple natural creatures, similar to animals.
Hallo! @erh.germany !
While reading Genesis in the Bible, I had a different opinion from your argument!
Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."
Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear.
Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."
But the LORD said to him, "Not so ; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.
Cain told Yahweh that others would try to kill him. There were other people besides the families of Adam and Eve.
Cain's words reveal that humans at that time had built a civilized society!
Adam and Eve clearly had the intelligence and ability to build civilization from the beginning, unlike wild animals!
Sorry for my akward english! 😄
Gute Nacht!
I understand the story of Adam and Eve more as something to illustrate human consciousness (becoming aware of oneself). It deals with becoming a human being from a child to the transition to adulthood according to my interpretation.
As a child you go through the world and nothing is good or bad, everything has a potential at first. You are more animal than human (that is why I used the "animal" term).
The explanation of the world only takes place through socialisation and the first pains, often called world-pains, begin in puberty. From that point on, a person begins to experience a deeper sense of worry. Thus, the story of the first humans could be understood as a spiritual orientation guide, as an explanation of why humans have insecurity, pain, embarrassment, doubt and other conflicts affecting the mind, and insofar as they have lived paradisiacal lives until now, this time is then over at some point.
Many thousands of interpretations of the Bible are possible, and since interpretation is something intimate and personal, each person finds something different and valuable in the scriptures. That is how it should be. So thank you for your addition. I have not yet looked further into Cain and Abel.
