Margin of Error

Margin of Error By Mark D. Stucky If, statistically, Adam and Eve hadn’t exceeded Eden’s margin of error, would lambs now be lounging with lions? Would toothy T-Rexes have been vegan? Would we love our neighbors and enemies as we love our less-than-perfect selves? Would we make war no more and have peace on earth? But, certainly, mistakes were made! And now, we should wherever possible correct for past and future errors, across centuries of commissions and omissions. Like the trembling woman sprawled in the dust, “go and sin no more” is also meant for us. (First published in Agape Review, 29 May 2022.
