Rock Garden

Earth was created and what came to live on the planet. He creates the simple things, such as light, sky, and land. He eventually creates the animals that inhabit the planet, including humans. These humans are Adam and Eve. These two are placed in the garden of Eden. Eventually, a sneaky serpent comes along and tricks them into picking/eating fruit from a tree that they were not permitted to touch. God becomes aware of this and chastises all three. The difference between light and dark and good…

If I close my eyes and doubt that everything exists, all I can hear is the heater running in the room I’m in. I don’t really smell or taste anything. I would have to agree with Descartes in that I must exist because I am thinking. I must have a brain or I wouldn’t be able to think, so I am alive and a thinking thing. If I couldn’t think, then I wouldn’t be living. I know I have a body because I can move my extremities. I believe with certainty that I am alive and capable of thought and have a…

always gets in the way to strew the ability to manipulate and dominate, creating never ending hills of destruction and creation. This is demonstrated first in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, there is a tree in the middle which God declares the Tree of Life, representing God’s wisdom. Eve believes that there is another tree in the garden, The Knowledge of Good and Evil, that is the actual center. Therefore, with the deception of the serpent, Eve goes against God’s asking and eats the…

Lewis uses himself as a character in the first chapter “to break down the distinction between his fictional world and our ‘factual’ world.” Lewis grounds the story in real life and history; this makes the story feel tangible. As an author, he draws on people whom he knows to create realistic characters. He knows himself and knows what he would do when presented with a specific task, making himself a ‘player character’ that impresses the sense of authenticity into the story. Creating a story…

and see the world through good and evil. She decides to disobey God and eat the forbidden apple, but she listens to the voice of the serpent and does what he says. It shows that it is a myth because it explains why hubris exists. Eve had the whole Garden of Eden and could eat anything she wanted, besides the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, she did not have to work, did not have to feel pain or fear. That still was not good enough for her, she still had the desire for more. The human trait of…

The famous quote goes, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” and the same holds true for artwork. Everyone interprets artwork differently with a variety of variables that can affect one's interpretation at any given time. In an Interpretation of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam Based on Neuroanatomy, Dr. Frank Meshberger attempts to show how Michelangelo intentionally painted God and the surrounding angels to represent the exact makeup of the human brain. He presents this in the form of an…

The Role of Knowledge in Paradise Lost and Frankenstein Throughout history, most human societies have valued knowledge and have used knowledge to improve the state of their civilizations. However, both Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and John Milton’s Paradise Lost discuss the dangers of knowledge. In Paradise Lost, fruit from the Tree of Knowledge causes the fall of man and introduces humanity to sin. In Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein’s thirst for knowledge leads to the creation of a monster…

Demons The Existence and Nature of Demons A. Their Creation – God created demons as part of the angelic realm originally (Col.1:16). B. Their Fall – The evidence – It is clear that Satan has a following of like beings (“Prince of the demons” – Matt.12:24; the Devil and his angels – Matt.25:41).

A subtle, yet important theme in Mark Twain’s Eve’s Diary is power. Both Adam and Even display power over one another. Adam’s silent treatment saddens Eve while Eve’s inquisitive curiosity scares Adam. Mark Twain hides power in this story, but it’s importance can’t be denied. The definition of power is the ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events. Based on this definition, Eve displayed power over Adam with her curiosity. At the beginning of the story, Eve…

everyone can eat it fruits that it gives but they absolutely cannot touch the trees roots otherwise it may hurt it, since the tree is the main resource for food on Skyworld; everyone respects this great privilege except for one.
