“Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.”Karl Marx

From time immemorial, the greatest part of humanity has been interested in the story of Adam and Eve. I tried to understand the Bible, Quran, Torah and other Hindu scriptures by applying logic and reasoning and nearly all of them failed until I determined to use only Truth. This is a journey of getting out of shackles of deep-rooted belief systems, a journey never written so far. I found that the credibility of Bible became false in Genesis. To compound this, the same is true of the Quran and Torah since they all share the same creation story. I strongly feel that as these stories can be proven as falsehood; there is no need to continue warring about separate beliefs. Furthermore, so many people who died in the name of God; died for nothing.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Genesis. (1:26) King James Version.

FFT (Food for thought): Above the word “our” is used. This is the plural form. I can draw only two conclusions: either A) It is referring to angels, or B) there are multiple “gods”. I think this will refer to angels as Genesis starts with “In the beginning God created heaven and earth.” If this is the case, I wonder why there is no mention to the lives and events of the angels. It also means man is not God's first creation. It is possible that there were or are multiple gods.

Further “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God.” (Genesis 1:27)

If we analyze this verse and verse 26, words used are “likeness” and “own”. God created man in his own image. This draws a question: If we are created in his likeness or image, and man is filled with hate, murder, greed, chaos and many other bad traits, then God would possess these as well, thus such a God would be a corrupt God and full of impurity and not worth worshiping. Such a God is not omni-benevolent.

Considering the omni-benevolent God which is the true God in this book, the God of the Bible, Quran, and Torah would not have created Evil (Satan) knowing the horrible things which evil can bring. If God loves all, he would not create Hell, as Hell would result in suffering for his children. Even simple parents, such as we are, do not burn our children. Even if the child becomes a criminal, we bar such a child from all our property and relationships, but a mother still cries when she see her son killed by police.

If God is omniscient, and has ability of omnipresence, why did he create Eden, and place within it the Tree of Knowledge, and the Tree of Life. If God had the capacity to know everything, then he was aware, even prior to creating man, that the result would be getting him cast out of Eden. If we consider that God was testing his creation, it means such a God is not sure of what he created and thus cannot be considered omnipotent. In both case he fails, he is neither omnipresent nor omnipotent. We have war, disease, pestilence, and genocide. Why would God go through with all of this knowing such things?

The other question which come in my mind is with the tree placed in Garden of Eden. Why place the Tree of Knowledge, knowing Adam and Eve would eat from it? Why create the serpent which tempted them to eat said fruit? In Chapter 3 verses 8-11, God came into the garden, and Adam and Eve went into hiding. God was not able to find them so he called out.”

“Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

God was unable to find them so he had to call out.

Adam replied, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

He seemed confused about why they were naked. It was Adam’s response of shame which prompted him to ask if they ate the fruit.

God said: “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

If God were omni-present, he would have been there when they ate the fruit. If he knew, he would have gone to the garden, and said “What did I tell you, Adam, about eating my fruit!”

God is contradicting Adam by saying “Who told you that you are naked?” so before eating fruit Adam was unintelligent and had no knowledge, and before that God created him in his own image. Such a God would have been unintelligent as well, with no wisdom.

The Tree of Knowledge further confused me. If Adam or Eve ate of the Tree of Knowledge and gained infinite knowledge, why do we still have ignorant people in this world? Why did it take so many years to create electricity, airplanes and so on? If they gained all the knowledge on good and evil, then we would have the capacity to understand evil is bad, and good is good. If mankind knew good was good, and preferable over evil, then mankind would never choose to be evil. So evil that today we are destroying our own planet, killing animals and creating mass pollution. The only way around this, since we are created in God's image and likeness, is to say that God is incapable of being inherently good, which would mean he is also evil.

Thus we can see that in all these books, God does not possess any “omni” qualities; since he in logic does not exist. We all walk separate spiritual paths, all leading to the same destination. So let’s stop wars and killings in the name of God.
