"the questions, the inspection, oh, the lovely thinking—the beautiful thinking."

this past week during my class, foundations of a christian life, which is an elective since i've already taken the class which the rest of my cohort are taking, we are talking about naturalist's perspective versus a christian's perspective in the question of sin.  we went to genesis, comparing man's life before and after the fall.  i hadn't been aware of the specific, descriptive comparison that is in the bible.
