I want you to tell me. Does no one accept my challenge in the Abrahamic faith having the best starting point for humanity? Yall really going to let me get away with saying that? This is suppose to be a fun, friendly challenge. If no one accepts, then I am left to assume its true.
How is an all knowing god making a very silly mistake of leaving a dangerous tree where two innocents could be fooled by a talking serpent the best starting point for humanity?

Ha, ha, ha, ha! You DO have a sense of humor and the absurd!

I dunno, scientific study and history is a good contender.
Of course this is a topic about starting points. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have Adam and Eve as the starting points. (Though I'm not sure what Islam states concerning Adam and Eve, and the Garden of Eden as well. Perhaps someone can enlighten me there)
I can be forgiven, i think, if I thought you were extolling the Abrahamic faiths as freely offering heaven up front, but in scratching my head and reviewing your original post, I see that you actually think the Garden of Eden was "offering heaven". I can't help you with that. Even if the story is about real events (and many believers don't think it is), it didn't last long and resulted in humans being estranged from god by default and suffering all sorts of terrible things for thousands of years. I am with Harry on this, it was a VERY inauspicious start for humanity.
