This article started off by talking about how human history was lead by an act of disobedience according to the myths by the Greek and Hebrews. The first topic of this article is about Adam and Eve. It jumps into the point that they were both human, and not human at the same time. Everything had changed when they didn’t follow an order. They both were then set free which was a huge eye opener for them. They felt like strangers of the world when this happened. This was the beginning of history and “Original sin” which was produced by Adam and Eve. For the prophets, they look at history as the place where man becomes human, which was a huge deal at this time. As a result of disobedience, there is a new paradise formed by man himself, which he could create by himself because he was obligated to the leave the old paradise.
With this article, I learned a lot of new things. I’ve heard a lot about Adam and Eve and Original Sin from being in Catholic school for four years, but there is a lot of new knowledge I finally grabbed. It confused me how they were both human and not human at the same time which made me wonder what the true definition of human is and if we still have man where they can both human and not in this modern day. As time continued to progress, man has continued to evolve by acts of disobedience which I predicted would happen based on the context of the article. This article ended with, “.. to criticize, and to disobey may be all that stands between a future for mankind and the end of civilization.” I had to read this over and over again, before I could agree with it, and once I finally understood what that sentence meant, I agreed with it because of the features man posses that are different from human, and not human.
