Quote:"What you should understand is that saying yes to life and accepting the knowledge of good and evil are merely different aspects of a single act,and this is the way the story is told in Genesis."
Question:Does it necessarily make you a taker if you want a big family, isn't it our right?
Comment:I think what Ishmael is saying about the story of Adam and Eve being the beginning of the takers is true. The story basically says that man disobeyed God because they wanted to have ultimate power and make decisions of which man lived and which died and over how many people came into the world.I think that it was ironic how the Eves name meant life which i didn't know.Life was what man was tempted by and what they wanted power over. Like now a days I hear people say that they want a big family all the time but I guess they don't realize that there are kids who can be adopted from third world countries.When they adopt from another country they are saving a kid from possible starvation and helping prevent over population.

kids can be adopted right here in our own city... good question you raised! Many people hold very dearly to their right, nay duty, to procreate as they wish. It's a very sensitive issue.
