Sin was created as a means of controlling the non-elite, the commonality, the masses. Religion wrote the bible. The bible could be viewed as the story of humanity's sin which ends in humanity's redemption. In the biblical story of creation, Eve enticed Adam so that he could not resist eating the forbidden fruit. The story accuses someone as being at fault. The story, religion, says Eve was at fault. The story, religion, and then the church, say Eve sinned. The story, religion, and then the church say there was no such thing as sin until the moment Eve took the apple and gave it to Adam. The story, religion, and the church say that Eve created sin. Eve brought sin into creation and into the world. Where, between the fashioning of Eve from the rib of Adam, could Eve ever have assumed or taken on the qualities to do this most disastrous of all acts? What germs could she have picked up to do this in the idyllic Garden of Eden, where they daily, walked and talked with God? Adam was not at fault, the story goes. Adam was enticed by Eve. Sexual overtones are obvious at this point. So Eve and sex are at the bottom of sin in the world. Of course, now we know why amoeba was divided into male and female. (Amoeba can subdivide, no problem for reproduction here) It would be facetious to suppose that anyone was at the scene recording it for history. This biblical story of Adam and Eve was written in a particular place in history by a particular person or sect for a particular issue or from a particular point of view. It certainly is not recorded history and falls into the category of religious myth. It was written to promote a patriarchal society. It was written to demonize. The demonization of women was embellished and promoted by the early church. The early church is the basis of much organized religion and many sects today. It the basis for what is coming to light in the world wide pedophilia scandal.
This mythical, biblical story was written to make Eve, as representative of the feminine responsible for bringing sin/evil into the world. Eve was created to be a source of power, to provide energy/power to feed and thereby empower the male. This is reflected in gender roles. Eve was created as food to feed the hungry. Sin was thereby established to replay the secondary level of the process of division/the duality of humanity to God (non-reality to Reality being the first or basic level) ---- humanity to God,---- Adam assuming the role of God,----- Eve given the role of the image of God---humanity. Eve thereby provided (through the symbol of eating) Adam with food. Scientifically, Adam took from Eve her positive/generative energy. Eve thereby provided Adam with the means to become God. Adan took and ate the fruit with the desire and expectation of becoming God. This is clearly spelled out in the Garden Story. Adam derived the power from Eve, in addition to his own, to become God by devouring Eve's essence. If Adam fed off of Eve's essence, where does sin lie? Did Adam not sin seriously against Eve? Another question surfaces... did Adam sin or was Adam just acting like Adam? If Adam is just being Adam, did sin occur? If Adam is just being Adam and just acting as Adam, how could sin occur? If a wild animal mauls or devours its trainer, does the animal sin? Most would say 'no'. No, of course not. The animal isn't vicious or violent. It is just acting like a wild animal. Its just being what it is. As humanity is of creation and subject to its function as the process of division...can humanity act other than what it is? Can the female recover if this is who she is? Can the male survive without devouring a form of food/energy? What if amoeba has never divided? But then.....creation is the process of division
