There were four (types of) trees in the garden of Eden, and there were four rivers.  2:10, "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from thence it was parted, and became...four heads."  Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel, and the Euphrates.  They are still there today.  And because we can place them on the map, we have an inkling of where Eden was.

Through mitochondrial DNA (from placentas of living women) Scientists have traced humans back to one woman that they call Eve.  She was black, and her representation made the cover of Time magazine on January 6, 1987.  It was also covered by Newsweek.  It caused a minor uproar.  However we don't know if that was "Our" Eve.  The cover story noted that there were other women before this "Eve" but that this woman was our common "mother."  They did not say she was the first woman, only that we all descended from her.

It does substantiate that there were women before 6000 years ago--before Eve.  Maybe one of them was the wife that Cain took when he moved to Nod?

Enough about that.

"Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast...he said to the woman:  God said you shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"  Eve answered, and like most of us women she added a little to her story to make it more interesting.  "God said you shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die."  Which is not what God said.

The serpent said, "You won't die...you will be as gods, knowing good and evil."  Count on the devil to twist the truth.  Eve should have listened to Adam's direction from God, but the serpent was so pretty--how could such a pretty thing lie?  So she ate.  Then gave some to Adam--he didn't hesitate.

Out there in your world, Satan will make things appear to be pretty, fun, delightful and acceptable.  But if they are contrary to God's Word, they deceive.  You will reap the results of what you have done.  Maybe not immediately, but there will be a payday someday.  You can count on that.  God is holy, and we are called to be holy.  We are fast becoming a ridiculed minority; We are God's children.
