    I think it’s neat that if you squint a bit, Genesis tells the story of the birth of Sol, Earth, evolution and finally human evolution.

    Couple of things created out of order, plants before sea life and such, but not too bad! And their punishment for eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge? Now that they’re smart, they’re no longer just hanging around the Garden picking up free food. They have to go out and invent agriculture and work. Now they know they’re mortal, understand death. Pain of childbirth? Big brains!

    Of course there are two creation stories in Genesis, I’m going with the first one.
