His wonderful plans --us living naked in the Garden of Eden forever--
were spoiled by a single woman. We all know how difficult it's for a
woman to pay attention to simple advice that we men offer since we
tend to think more. We assume God is a man since he saw the danger and
was quick to punish Adam & Eve. My GF forgets what I tell her all the
time. And I'm absentminded myself. The Buddhists call this state of
mind "monkey mind." When God gave the command "not to eat from the
Tree of Knowledge," it may have been ignored by a simple mental lapse,
sort of like a computer glitch. And we are missing the reset button.
So Humanity was made with a monkey mind and no reset button. In other
words, we would never buy a computer that worked like us.

That's a species that makes more sense than us. We are hunter-
gatherers and warriors. Ladies are housewives and shoppers.
Originally Adam would collect berries and chop wood and Eve would take
care of the fire to keep the mosquitoes away. That's how they started
blaming God for the mosquitoes.

OK, let's not fantasize anymore about angels and get rational about
it...
Because of our "monkey mind" we are not as reliable or precise as a
computer, but we can take decisions that can save our lives. Imagine
someone is coming at you with a knife, you run or shoot him, right? A
computer would not know what to do in that case to save itself and so
in a thousand other applications it wouldn't know how to compute. The
key concept is 'WE THINK' THEREFORE WE ARE.
In other words Adam and Eve are our heroes. Unwilling to follow orders
they stood up to a God that acted like Hitler.
