According to the famous Garden of Eden story in the Bible, Eve was not so much born as sprouted, growing from a rib that the Lord took from Adam's side, after Adam had failed to get along in any meaningful way with other species.
Tempted by a talking snake to eat fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil - the one forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden - she ate and persuaded Adam to join her. The snake had promised that they would be like God, but in fact the only difference was that they realised they had no clothes on.

So there you have my excuse for posting a picture of three nudes ~ religious freedom.
Another reason is that, thanks (once again) to the J-Walk Blog, I have discovered that there is astonishing new DNA evidence that human beings did not evolve from ape-like creatures.
'Internationally respected biochemist' Dr. Fazale 'Fuz' Rana, says, "With the discovery of what scientists have aptly named Y-chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve, new genetic and DNA evidence with the fossil record show very clearly that modern humans are not related to previously existing hominids as once believed.
"There is astonishing new evidence to support the position that homo sapiens exploded onto the scene less than 100,000 years ago from a single man and a single woman.
"Even more astounding is that scientists now know that human origins had their beginning in a particular geographical area - the same area identified by most biblical scholars as the physical location of the Garden of Eden. Belief in a literal and historical Adam and Eve as recounted in the Bible has greater scientific credibility today than at any other time in human history."
Dr. Rana has been assisted in his researches by none other than Dr. Hugh Ross, author of several books, including Lights in the Sky and Little Green Men.
