Man Vs the Universe

If all the elements came together, when would life begin?
Would it take a billion eons between the yang and yin?
How many hours were in a day before there was a sun?
How much did we know when  our existence had just begun?
If Eve had never bitten the apple, where would we be now?
With all their needs met would they learn or even  to know how?
Would they have needed emotions before they felt fear and shame?
Or would they need emotions to truly know God’s name?
We as humans debate these questions over and over again.
We even debate the question of the appearance of  the wife of Cain.
Did God not drive our knowledge, and our knowledge became our goal.
In God’s elegant way, we find the answers to save the stagnant soul.
