Mankind is supposed to be the perfect specimen created to serve the God(s) that made them, but in all three stories, these creations end…
“So times were pleasant for the people there until finally one, a fiend out of hell, began to work his evil in the world.” Since Eve took a bite out of that apple a long time ago, evil has dwelled and lodged in our home called Earth.
