Christmas in Eden (A New Theory of Adam)

By Richie Cooley

I propose a theory for the chronology of Eden that better squares with the literal text and which is more compatible with young-Earth creationism than is presently accepted. The themes of racism/eugenics brought out by Darwinian evolution are also explored.

Before getting started, let’s review a few notes…

*This work mostly uses British spelling, except for the quoted material, which often employs U.S. spelling.

*The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, often rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah.

*The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).

*Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.

*Words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.

It was as if a giant earthquake occurred culturally, and we have been hit by continual tsunamis ever since. The foundational lie was that the Earth is very old. This idea gained broad acceptance, giving room for Charles Darwin to promote his theory on the origin of species. This was a major shift in thought, not only scientifically, but also sociologically. It gave humankind the subtle hope of improving itself, as what would become known later as our genes were the true gods that should be served. Charles, in his genteel British way, lightly floated the idea in The Descent of Man that the handicap should restrict their procreation…

He who admits the principle of sexual selection will be led to the remarkable conclusion that the cerebral system not only regulates most of the existing functions of the body,
