"How did they see it ?" Well gee, perhaps by Divine revelation just like the scriptures say ? Perhaps like Psalm 19 says; "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge." I see God all around us in Nature, just like this scripture says. (and just like someone noted thursday night about how the sky looked like the Cistine chapel's ceiling rendition of heaven ) And I see the potential for perfection displayed in Nature also. Perhaps the Jews were just the ones to finally "connect all the dots" so to speak.

... loved it, Micah. Thanks!
I've been thinking about how fundamentally important the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves actually are. The impact the Adam and Eve account has had on us is probably incalculable. I think if we had held to the old Babylonian myth, things would be very different today.
