“It ain't those parts of the Bible that I can't understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.” Mark Twain

 There are some things in the creation narrative over my head. I do not need to understand why God forbid certain things. It should be enough for me to take note that God takes disobedience seriously and so should we. Therein lies the moral of the story.
