I thought part of gods curse was ending their immortality, and giving them reproduction to compensate? That's the way I've always understood it, although that also means I haven't checked it up since I was, like, ten.
There didn't seem to be any other errors, though, although you
did skip all the good parts. I'm sure Grungie would be more eagier to learn the bible if he heard about a certain father, and what his two daughters did to him.

No, Genesis says nothing about Adam and Eve not being able to have children before they ate the Fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil. In fact, Eve's punishment actually implies she probably had children already.
Genesis 3:16 Wrote:To the woman He said,
“I will greatly multiply
Your pain in childbirth,
In pain you will bring forth children;
Yet your desire will be for your husband,
And he will rule over you.â€Â
The word "multiply" (although some versions say "increase") implies that Eve knew about childbirth, and now her pain in childbirth was going to be greater. It's worth noting that, while Adam and Eve had many children, only 3 of their sons were ever mentioned directly (Cain, Abel, & Seth).

Ah, yes...Lot's daughters...
We need to bring all this religious talk to the RnP thread.
Your Super Dictator Emperor King has demanded it.
We have created a rebellion, you will be overthrown.
Well seeing as I have absolute power with divine rule, I say no. You cannot ignore the mandate of heaven.

Oh, cool. I didn't know that. Thank you.
That does raise the question of how Eden's population would be sustainable in the long-term if they hadn't been thrown out, though.
And let's just ignore the whole issue of how the third generation of men came to be. :puke:
So I've been listening to albums from and back for awhile now. It's kind of strange after being used to just kicking shuffle on all day, and it's also forcing me to listen to songs I don't usually listen to.
So, ehem, guys... I just noticed that the hot-chicks thread has a fifth of the posts, but ten thousand more views than this place. Is there anything anyone feels the need to talk about?
