It's good to know you're at least open to the possibility.

satan directly contradicted God's word by declaring the opposite as true. "You shall not surely die".

And they didn't. God claimed, "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." But, as the Bible reports, "And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.[/QUOTE] That doesn't seem like "in the day" to me. Apparently, God was lying and the serpent told the truth.

Death has come upon all men through Adam and Eve. Being human now leads to the eventual demise of everyone.

But if Adam and Eve hadn't eaten of the tree and gotten kicked out of the garden, no other humans would have ever existed. Is non-existence better than existence in your estimation?

BTW, what kind of jerk sticks something in the middle of a place naive people are living and then tells them not to touch it?
