"And the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked, they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons."
-- Gen. 3:7
Damn!
Looks like they could've used Adam and Eve on Gilligan's Island.
Remember, at the end of chapter two, "And they were both naked, the man and the woman, and they were not ashamed." (Gen. 2:25)
So, after they ate from the tree of knowledge, they realized, "Wow! We're nekkid!"
And apparently they were embarrassed. Come on! How would they know? Clothes didn't exist to begin with! So nudity was the default setting. There were no other options... till they sewed leaves together... using pine needles and thread they coaxed from a silk worm's ass!
Then, as punishment for eating from the spooky tree, God tells Eve "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children..." (3:16).
Makes sense. That's the only logical reason why childbirth would cause a woman pain-- God decreed it. Never mind the fact that she's squeezing a PERSON through her HOO-HA !
Perhaps this was a way ancient people explained child birth. That is all they knew. They didn't have the scientific/technological advances of modern times.
They knew that after guys and ladies got bizzay, babies came out of the ladies. And that was it! That's all they knew.
Just like Adam and Eve, suddenly they "knew that they were naked!"
"Fifteen hundred years ago everybody KNEW the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody KNEW the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you KNEW that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll KNOW... tomorrow."
