well.. it was aid in genesis that "adam and eve were created in our image".
yes, make no mistake about it, in genesis god refers to himself as "our image"... meaning there are other gods.. now just "god".
I doubt you could explain that gunth.. but you are encouraged to try.

I find it funny how god set that whole adam and eve thing up. He put satan in the garden of eden on purpose just to tempt the humans...
the real question we should be asking is why does god allow satan to be in the garden... Hell, why does god allow satan to exist? Is god saying that there mustbe evil in the world so he created satan?>
this wasn't gods only time he did this... Anyone remember the book of.. JOB?
