Dear Jon: I believe that Adam and Eve knew very little about the things you suggest.
On the other hand, there is a lot that you are missing in this very condensed version
of our first parent's introduction to God. The Bible is in some ways like the old Charlie Brown cartoons. There was an obviously, out front, very simply and silly story line for little children,
and then there was a secondary story hidden from the minds of children that only the adults
could pick up on, and that's what made them so good. You see the outward children's version
of Genesis, but you are totally missing the real story. Yes, Adam and Eve had no clothing,
but their problem was they they were "SPIRITUALLY NAKED" like the Christian Church is(See Rev. 3:17). Sorry, don't have time to explain all these things in an email. Hope you understand.
There is much on this subject already written on our site.
God be with you,
Ray
