I did not understand the first part of your post. Yes, the quote illustrates how non-relatives are called brothers and no, I don't think you can be convinced by the scripture no matter what I do to read it or explain it to you. Like, was Lot Abraham's brother?

Mary and Eve are symmetrical. Eve uses her senses to taste the fruit, -- the scientific method,-- and follows Satan. Mary uses logic and word of God, -- theological method, -- and follows God. Naturally, Eve is deceived and Mary is enlightened.

Being "deceived" is NOT the scientific method. I'm sure I have the backing of the scientific community on this one.
