Q&A Books/Genesis Truth Boosters/Genesis 2Chapter 2Genesis 212questionsQ1."Why would an all-powerful God need to rest? Doesn’t that seem unnecessary if He’s really all-powerful?"Q2."Why does the Bible retell the creation story in Genesis 2? Isn’t one account enough? Why go over it again, but differently?"Q3."Didn’t Genesis 2 say plants came after humans? That seems like a contradiction with Genesis 1, where plants are created before humans. What’s going on here?"Q4."Why did God create humans from dust? Doesn’t that make us just like the animals?"Q5."So, where exactly was the Garden of Eden? Does the Bible give any clear location?"Q6."What’s the deal with the fruit of ‘life’ and ‘knowledge’ in the Garden of Eden? Was it literal, symbolic, or something else?"Q7."Would Adam and Eve have lived forever if they’d eaten from the Tree of Life? What was the point of that tree anyway?"Q8."Why would knowing good and evil be a bad thing? Isn’t it good to understand the difference between them?"Q9."Didn’t God set up Adam and Eve to fail by putting the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden? Wasn’t that kind of like tempting them?"Q10."Why didn’t God create Adam and Eve at the same time? Wasn’t that a bit unfair to Adam, leaving him alone for a while?"Q11."So, did God create the woman just to be the man’s assistant? Isn’t that a little demeaning?"Q12."Isn’t it limiting to say that ‘one man, one woman’ is the only kind of union God approves of? Why not polygamy, which we see in the Bible?"
