This is what I thought initially. But after reading one of the author's replies, I think he meant literal limitation. Not knowing what to do. He gave an example of God observing whether or not Adam would mate with the animals.
[/quote]
The Bible could not be any clearer on this point.
"When a mate was not found" God made the women. It was the very first thing that God had Adam do. And Adam named Eve just as he named the animals.
It really can't be argued. Adam names the animals to see if a mate was to be found.
I totally understand people that don't want to think about what is written. The don't want to consider the clear meaning of the words. I get it.
Difficult verses in the Bible are by far the most important ones to get right!
This verse is very important for many other reasons. Like, there is no way Adam had time to name thousands of animals, but he had plenty of time to name, a doe, a sow, a cow . . . all females .. with the ewe being last and ten Eve V is the shape of a women and v v or the double v being the shape of the ewe.
Good fiction makes sense and this makes sense and follows the Bible exactly.

Can't wrap my head around that either.JM Reviews wrote: ↑27 Jun 2020, 06:53I think I'm missing something. How do you know that God didn't know what Adam would do while naming the animals? How did you associate mating with naming of animals? I don't get it.

I wanted to agree with the author too, until his replies. His replies reinforced my thoughts.JM Reviews wrote: ↑28 Jun 2020, 00:48I agree with you. The author has made it clear that this is purely a work of fiction. I, therefore, don't think there's any blasphemy here. However, reading the author's replies in this forum gives me an impression that he reads the Bible out of context.Topsey wrote: ↑27 Jun 2020, 14:52 I think that this is clearly a work of fiction. The author is in no way trying to claim that these retellings are facts therefore I don’t think it’s blasphemy. If anything this is positive work, almost evangelical, because it causes the readers to question what’s true and maybe lead them to research on their own. Since this book may even make people consider God as a reality, I believe it is in fact serving God as a work of fiction.
