Here’s a question for all you Bible Scholars:

How long was Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden?

Genesis isn’t clear on how long Adam was in the Garden before God created Eve, and it sort of reads as though the serpent tempted them as soon as Eve was created.

However, it could have been millions of years, couldn’t it? God intended them to live forever. But they knew what Death was, and that it was to be avoided, because God told them to stay away from the Tree of Knowledge, or they would die (whether or not he was talking about a metaphorical “death in sin”). So they were in the Garden at least long enough to see animals die, because God didn’t explain what death was when he warned them.

So, just wondering: how long do you think they lived there before the Original Sin got them thrown out?

“Joshua, put that kazoo down and go to sleep!”

Adam had no childhood

David! You broke the neighbor’s window again?!

Aaaah! Bible stories…..

They had toilets on The Ark? :)

Sir Ruddy Blighter, you didn’t really expect to get a real answer out of commenters on a comic strip, did you?

very ambitious strip today Each panel could have been a separate comic!

Favorite memories? Seem more like nightmares.

All great opportunities to invent the solution, or imagine one like our POTUS.

Zacchaeus was scolded for flaunting platform shoes.

Adam: Fig leaf? Why would I need a fig leaf? [crunch] Oh.

Adam: Stand back, Eve. I don’t know how big this thing is going to get!

Hearty laugh at this one!
