What it could have been

WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN

Eve offered Adam an apple in Eden
Which he reluctantly ate
He should have considered the consequences
It was a terrible mistake
Instead of eating the apple
He should have eaten the snake (protein)

Genesis 2.0 (Del's version)

As a result of this, at birth
We all inherited original sin
Baptism fortunately removes it
A good way for life to begin

*****sapien, 200 thousand years ago
Evolved in Africa scientists believe
That we all inherited our DNA
From our mitochondrial Eve
