Marginalia

 


Overheard on YouTube. Biblical scholar and personal maverick Dan McClellan pointed out on Joe Rogan Show (sic) that Adam and Eve are only mentioned exactly once in the entire Old Testament. Yet, in Christian theology they are extremely central. 

Hmmm...

So the temptation in the Garden, the Fall and the Curse weren´t particularly important features of the religion of Israel. They weren´t used to explain the origins of evil, und so weiter. But what was? The Book of Enoch...?

Demons? Space aliens? Lemurians???
