My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Yet if adam and eve had just eaten the fruit of immortality, apparently they would have been exactly like god. That's also in the bible. It's almost as if there are contradictory parts and it's full of bunk...

Yes it is. It doesn't say immortality, it says the tree of life in every translation I can find, but we're all using translations.

I don't fully understand that, but neither do you. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I'm not going to pretend not to have the answers I do have.

A good guiding principle for understanding the Bible is the plain things are the main things, and the main things are the plain things.
