Why were Adam and Eve cast out of Eden?

@John_Harshman

Is there a translation anywhere that says what George wants it to say? You seem heavy on methodological criticisms and light on actual arguments.

I have no idea if @gbrooks9’s interpretation is supported.

However, the methodological critique is valid and speaks precisely to the argument:

@dga471

Not to mention that Faizal quoted a translation from 1611. That’s like a creationist quoting Darwin to argue against evolution.

@swamidass

The wrong approach is to just arbitrarily pick the translation that suits your reading. Instead, you have to actually look at the original language and the history of interpretation.
