0101 ‘Something’2, captured in the stories of Adam and Eve2, transforms Craig’s definition3 into an inquiry3.
The presence of the ancient Near East and Genesis 2:4-111 is located in the Ubaid, Uruk and Sumerian Dynastic of southern Mesopotamia. In particular, the historical Adam is united with a primeval… er… primordial trauma corresponding to the start of the Ubaid.
0102 At the time of Christ, no one knows this. Instead, everyone understands that Adam originates humanity’s tragic flaw. Adam and Eve are regarded as causes, in the scientific sense of the word, rather than signs.
0103 Today, I suggest that the stories of Adam and Eve are signs of the start of the Ubaid. The Ubaid associates to the start of civilization of southern Mesopotamia. The Ubaid also marks the start of our current Lebenswelt and the beginning of the end of the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.
