[PGR88]

Too many Christians, even those who may not go as far as to call the Genesis account false, seem embarrassed by it.

Everyone should listen Jordan Peterson's series of talks on Genesis. He avoids the "scientific" debate, considering it shallow and basically meaningless. What "proof" is there that Eve ate an apple? Or that Abraham negotiated with God? Or that Cain killed Abel?

Rather, he approaches from a psychological and "Jungian" aspect, discussing from the viewpoint of what we know to be true about human psychology and the human unconscious.

From that aspect, he says, Genesis is "truer than true." Its is the most accurate description of the human condition, of human nature - and prescription for behavior - than any other written work since.

What "proof" is there that Eve ate an apple?

Anyone who brings this up has not read the source material and should be ignored.

Which is the majority of the people on this thread.

They read or listen to what other people say or write but reading the original is just too HARD.

With the exception of the "B'rer Rabbit" tales... and Aesop's Fables... maybe also O. Henry's stories... and Kipling's "Just So" stories.
