I agree with you. It does seem a bit odd to change details and not just fill in the gaps.ardalgarcia wrote: ↑17 Jun 2020, 15:13 There are also quite a few compared to what it actually says in the Bible. I know they're only supposed to be based on biblical stories, but it just seems a bit odd to actually change details and not just fill in the gaps.

Exactly. I registered these same observations. The inconsistencies made the story harder for me to believe sometimes.kljrox wrote: ↑09 Jun 2020, 16:31 I noticed the inconsistencies in several instances also. It seems the author had a little difficulty with dialogue between the first people on Earth and picked words randomly to emphasize their newness in life. For instance, Eve knew what swimming meant because when Adam asked if she had tried swimming yet, she said, "No, I haven't. Not yet. You will have to teach me." There was no form of reference for the word swim, but she understood it. However, he picked payment as a word to show that they were learning new words and I guess forgot that she had already said the word as if she understood it.

This definitely felt like an inconsistency, but at the same time, it didn't really affect my understanding of the author's point. It felt like a bit of a slip-up. I really like the idea of thinking of them as "innocent children."Leen282 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2020, 08:59If Eve doesn't know what payment is, how come she uses that very same word and concept a few pages before her question?slj3988 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2020, 08:55 Perhaps the author meant to say Eve was asking what their payment would be? Or she didn't fully understand the concept of payment or consequence. We are talking about the first humans ever here. In a world before trade. What is payment? Think of them as innocent children who didn't know right from wrong yet.
The instances are about Adam paying for his rebellion and Adam paying for his debt. So very much the same concept.
