Are you familiar with the story in the Garden of Eden? The Creation: We sinned for love is a historical fiction that is written by Sabat Beatto. He studied real estate, acting, music, and cinematography. He has Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Master's Degree in Special Education. The author twisted the events in the Garden of Eden. His extra-biblical idea may ruin the true meaning of salvation. "We sinned for love", this phrase makes me puzzled as I look at the cover of the book. What is a Sin? And, what is the meaning of love? How can a person committed sin for love when in fact love covers a multitude of sins? In 1 Peter 4:8 says, "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins."

And, what do you think when you heard about a spaceship? Is it all about Aliens? There was a spaceship searching for a habitual planet. They landed on the planet earth, preferably in the Garden of Eden. The aliens came out first that looks similar to humans but the features had plenty of deformities. They are called the black and white terrestrials. They can't talk fluently but still able to communicate. Then, intermingling between the black and white terrestrial is forbidden; the law of God upon them. I don't like this story because it is not biblical but the author uses biblical terms.

Meanwhile, as the white terrestrials circle themselves as a group when the third spaceship came. Out of the spaceship is a white man named Adam. He looks fine and can talk fluently. He went directly to the white race. Unnoticed, the last spaceship came while Adam is busy chatting and teaching the white terrestrial. There was a female black version of Adam that gives joy to the black terrestrials, her name is Eve. She was very beautiful and has a voluptuous body. This story added to the number of myths on the account of Genesis.

Genesis 2:7 says, "the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." Eve is formed from a man's rib. "So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. (Genesis 2:21-22 NIV)

This statement contradicts to what the Bible teaches since the author uses Biblical names and events.
Being together is against God’s law but we have given up a lot to atone for our sins.
In fact, God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." (Genesis 1:28) Sin is missing the standard of God. And, Adam and Eve sin atonement does not come from their own self. Sin atonement only came from Jesus Christ. He is the one who paid all our transgressions on the cross.

The author's creative writings on the events in the Garden of Eden contradicts to the real virtue of the story. He uses biblical references but used it differently that sounds the truth is being twisted. Christians, pastors, ministers, and people who had a background in biblical teaching will dislike this view on Genesis account. I rated this book 1 out of 4 stars. This story will create confusion especially to those people who are not yet Christian. I found plenty of grammatical errors and typos, it is a bit disturbing while I'm reading. Even if, I disagree on this book but still I like the way the author makes his transition to the next chapter. The author's point on temptation scene is quite relevant to the story in the fall of man.

I've just reviewed some thing about the garden of Eden (Mimadamos: The Eden of Choice),
http://forums.onlinebookclub.org/viewto ... 21&t=48628
Wow, it seems the topics sprouting out of the garden of Eden/the beginning of Man are gaining popularity fast. It just goes to prove the prophecy of Revelations coming true, the hyped talk about issues of who we are and the crediting and discrediting of God/the Bible.

I already dislike the interpretations about the Genesis account given by this author by just going thru this review. I really am curious about what the author is trying to accomplish by spinning that story...

I agree with you. Biblical events and terms are so very critical issues.

Thanks for the review. I'm not sure you could call this historical fiction as the author so distorts the history as to be unrecognizable. I'll about this one. Sorry you had to read the whole thing.
