Note to
DMan: This critique is interesting, but not new. It's a traditional attack based on a widespread piece of
bad theology.
Christians can and should point to the fact that God did not allow Adam (who did die, as written in Genesis 5:5) and Eve (who isn't mentioned, being a woman) to die ultimately. Their final destiny is eternal life through Jesus Christ. Of course, one might ask why God went through the whole process of allowing sin to enter the world and then redeeming us from it--well, it means we get to eat our cake and have it too...we get to be curious and exploratory, but in the end come back to God. That's not such a bad thing, is it?
Minor update--the original version of Genesis is in Hebrew, not Greek. Hebrew is much more difficult for Anglophones to learn. Greek at least has some relationship to English (and if you know Latin you'll have a leg up on Greek grammar and vocabulary) but Hebrew is something else.
