Dear Max: Goddam revisionists spoil so many things. Makes God sound senile to have made Eve as an afterthought. And idea of God allowing Adam to indulge in unlimited bestiality makes taking a bite out of an apple trivial.

Dear Max: perhaps you should serve notice when such an obscure allusion is perpetrated.
That's not fair.

But Gentleman, we digress. Be remindful of Wow's intriguing musement...

"Here's a thought that niggles at my mind once in awhile.
Suppose Adam had refused to eat the apple?
And only Eve was forced from Eden?
A world full of women" - - - wow


Think about it guys "A world full of women" and only us. Which of you would cast the first refusal of the apple?

Now before all you guys go raising your hands, remember the biblical abomination of the female and the direct command...

"And your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you"

Now boys, I mean, don't you just love these wonderful creatures that say words like "niggles"?

And - - Ain't biology grand? ...- -

And what if Eve had nestled up to Adam and said, "Hmmm, don't you think a little fresh roasted snake sounds really good?"

Lilith -- Adam rejected her

So did Frasier...is this a trend?

Ack, having been away for a weekend this has gone on indeed... and ack _again_ at that daft mistake re ante- and post-diluvian! Regards all the Adam and Eve stuff... the commands about being fruitful and not eating of the forbidden tree were given to *both* Adam and Eve, so it was a sin for her to eat it. You might be surprised how much female viewpoint/history is recorded in the Bible - Song of Songs is an amazing paean to female and male sexuality. Women were and are certainly no afterthought in creation!

had Eve been banished alone, ... biology indicates that there would be no history

Not so sure SilkMuse! In the dim and distant past I am sure I heard that women could - in dire circumstances - produce offspring without males participating ... but would produce only female offspring!
Any Doctors in the House to confirm - (either doctorates in medicine or biology related sciences acceptable!)

Charlotte Perkins Gilman... and the whole book is available on line.. if you's like to read it.. (its a short book)
