The Garden of Eden fable is about:
1. The dawning of human self-aware consciousness…
2. …with the consequent implication that humankind must thus create its own food through hard labour.
3. Men’s fear of the power of Woman’s womb
4. Men’s fear of women’s sexuality–and being cuckolded
5. Man’s claim to predominance over Woman
Questions:
i. Why does religion try to cover up the real meaning of the Garden of Eden fable?
ii. Why are men so fearful of the power of the womb?
iii. Does pretending the Eden fable is about a notional artifact referred to as ‘sin’ carry the day?
