Week 3 Storytelling: Adam and Eve

How did God create this world ?How did God create all the people and animals on the earth? Every one of us asked these questions to himself when he was a child and wanted to know how this world created. Adam and Eve, the parents for all the humans in the earth, is a very famous story . And as the famous story tells us God built the earth in seven days and the whole world was ready to have the humans, animals, and all the tiny creatures in this world in those seven days.

And to fill  this world with all the living things, God decided to bring a man and a woman to the earth to feel the life in that quiet place. And he gave Adam and Eve  a mission. This mission was to create the other creatures by a machine.  It was called ” human machine” The second part of the mission was to give all the other creatures names where all the people after that would call them by this name. The time to finish the mission was just three days.

The human machine has a small red button,and when it pressed,it makes the machine work. It also has a touch screen where the user can browse the images inside. There is a tube connected to its side where all the created creatures can pass through to get out of the machine to life like a dead body without a soul. This machine was created by God. And God put it in front of them and told them the mission. 

After God told them what their mission was, they were shocked and did not know how to turn on the machine and how to start creating animals. The only thing was okay if they did not do it was to put a soul to these creatures because God going to do that instead of them.

Adam and Eve started to think the whole day how they would do animals, and after they thought deeply for almost a day they decided to do an animal that can do some sounds and beautiful sounds to make the earth more lively. They went to the machine and tried to figure out how it worked.  They found a small red button close to the screen and when they pressed it the screen turned on and then they started to think what they should do next. While they were discussing what to do, Adam touched the screen with his finger by mistake, and suddenly a couple of pictures appeared in front of them on the screen. These pictures were of some eyes, noses, mouths, bodies, hands, and legs.  After they knew that this screen works by touching it, they began to put these pictures together to find a good shape for the animal that they needed to create which is the “bird “as we call it today,but they failed to do the whole picture of the bird correctly. 

 The next day while they were thinking about the picture of the bird and how it should look like, Eve looked to Adam’s face and said, “Oh Adam, I think I know how to solve this problem." 

Adam replied, “How?”  

She said, "The pictures that we saw yesterday look like the parts of your face, so if we try to collect them together in the same way then we can get the picture of our first animal.”

 So Adam agreed with her and said,” Let’s try to do this.” 

And they went back to the machine and tried to do that puzzle. After the half of the second day passed they figured out how to do the face of the bird and that face was like the human face. They started to do the body by putting legs on it, and they put arms and hands to the bird instead of wings. At the end of the day, they got a very ugly bird which is not even a bird, but they were so happy with that because they wanted to finish their mission.

On the third and last day, Adam and Eve spent the whole day trying to get this bird out of the screen. And they  tried to give their creature a name, so God would be able to put a soul in that body and then they  knew that they were done. The day ended and they did not finish what God asked them to do and  God told them to go fill the earth with humans without creating anything else.

 We can conclude that no one can  create people and animals better than God because God always does the best for us and creates each one of us in a very good shape. God is always beside each of us when we need him.

Author’s note: 

 Adam and Eve is a story that everybody knows. And everyone knows that Adam and Eve are the parents of all the humans on the earth. 

 In this story I decided to change the whole story while keeping Adam and Eve the main characters in the story. I also added some technology to those days to see if the technology devices and humans can create something better than the ability of God to do that or not.

I chose this story because it is a traditional story  and writing a story like this could be a challenging for me, so my goal was to try to mix between these days and the first days in life. My idea is that in these days we are seeing the rapid progress of technology and how that technology is developing every day very quickly. And we can feel it through the presence of mobile devices and computers for example or through the medical field where the doctors will become able to do surgeries to put a whole head of one body on a different body. It is just like creating a new person. Despite all this development that we are witnessing, we still do not have the power of God of creating people in a very beautiful image.
