I think that maybe story of the garden of Eden where eve eats the apple is to symbolise human imperfection and the fact that we were given a second chance sort of symbolises God's omnibenevolence and our ability to redeem. I also believe in the bible literally and understand that there are metaphors too.

Also, just curious about something, and there's a pole down below:

As you believe in the Bible in a literal sense, can I ask what you interpret the following to mean…

Genesis 1:28
God blessed them, and God said to them “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth”

Here, he's given us the meaning to life and set us on a path. We have a biological purpose to be born, grow up, find a mate, reproduce and then help our children to do so. Also, it's accurate to real life. The fact that we have dominion over the 'fish and the birds' (animals). We are, as humans, superior to all else in nature as a species.

May I ask if you, yourself, are a Christian? I understand if that is too personal a question. I would just really like to meet more Christian friends and learn/share my thoughts with them.

@CelticQueen5 There’s an academic paper published in 1967 by Lynn White, ‘The Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis’, in which he argues that science and technology are the tools used in the process, but the reason we’re in this ecological crisis is due to a Westernised Christian-based belief system that we are superior to nature and therefore less likely to care for it. Interesting topic.

I’m not a Christian I’m afraid.

People often scapegoat Christianity.
Are you referring to the concept of Global warming?

@CelticQueen5 Concept?

Well climate change itself is undeniable. But Global warming is still debated today. From my perspective, there's no doubt that humans are having an impact on the environment. what annoys me is the pointless and futile attempts we make to solve it that just give different businesses money. tesla cars for instance are a total scam and wind turbines get put into giant landfills.

why are we supporting Greta Thunberg - a teenager who dropped out of school - and not Boyan Slat and his amazing inventions that reduces plastic pollution in the sea??
