Whatever I am thinking now ...will perhaps be a process where I am open to God's leading, and that I will be given discernment to understand the force of wishful thinking, discovery, preconceived ideas. What I'm saying, is I hope I don't get in the way ...so my own ambitions of knowledge don't also get in the way (as was seemingly the case with Eve).

On the other hand, perhaps Eve just thought of trying to please Adam ...and then Adam joining, as not to displease Eve.  Like I said, I don't really know ...but, I know there was a measure of disobedience toward God involved, and that was not pleasing to Him.

Though, like everything else ...God had that already covered.  It may not have been immediately known to anyone else, but God knew.  It is our understanding of it which is dearly lacking.

And it involves much to the understanding of questions like: "Why does bad things happen to good people?"

Or we could also ask: "Why does good things happen to not so good people?"

And we'd have to define many things ...including good and bad.

Well, I can't possibly write about all of where my mind was traveling, nor would you likely want to read it. But, let me say that at one point my mind began to think in at least a chronological fashion.  Besides thinking of the Creation ...and the Fall, with Adam & Eve ...quickly came to mind the Flood, Sodom & Gomorrah, Uzzah, and Nathan's message to King David.

I was reading the First & Second Epistle of Peter ...which aided in many thoughts coming to mind.  So much was the flood of thoughts that I decided to write some of them down.  I could later reread them and formulate more thoughts about them ...which I thought was much more likely than if I didn't take notes, and forgot about it entirely.
