The Truman Show or The Human Show

First of all I'm not really sure if this is the right forum for this topic, it could be philosophy too I guess.

During the weekend I was watching the movie The Truman Show, and suddenly I was transported to the garden of Eden. This "isolated" area were the 2 humans were living the perfect life. No problems, no hassles, no worries.
And then questions started to come to their minds like, what is in the other side of the "fence"? or simply has the urge to do something else than just be there.
And then they talk with God right there at the door.

What if, if instead of them been thrown out, they were the ones that decided to go out.

What do think guys?

I watched the video - Impressive levels of ignorance!

Does he not understand, for instance, that the Moon is tidally locked to Earth, as are, indeed, the majority of the moons in the Solar System, and why? Obviously not.

There are a lot of things he does not understand, apparently. Just like most Flat Earthers, really. Very sad.

An ice wall at the edge. OK......

Abednego, baby....I always wanted to chat with ya....you're famous

good original thought, those are rare, huh

but there's something to as the story is told.....that other tree the two might get into.....tree of life.....God knows it's too lonely at the top.....to let his peeps get saddled with that, sent those two packin.....

So, when we meet up with God....we need to figure how to make it less lonely for Him at the top


the vid, we conjecture the moon is tide locked.....but I'm not sure,never been, you? I need to go have a looky to surmise for myself......and when someone looks through their super dooper triple snooper scope to analize the compounds and molecules out in the nether regions, are they too sure of their accomplishments and statements that are totally worldly....so sure of a red shift being absolute in all facets or sure of the date they assign to a hunk of stuff a peer found in Africa or in the layers deep below ground level idk

or a fragment of a bone.....maybe four fragments.....little bitty pieces...and come up with a friggin missing link claim....cause they are experts....for a career, I do not want to go out and dig a bit here and there looking at gravel bits, I'd be thinking, when you go by Saint Peter at the pearly gates....what if he pulls ya over in front of everybody and says...hey, tell us what you did on the Earth brother....you'd be too friggin embarrassed to answer. OH, I got paid by the university and museum to go off by my own self and scratch in the rocks for a broken piece of trash....if it's old, they pay me more

How could only 2 people populate Earth? Did Adam and Eve's childrens had a relationship with each other?

Sex.

Did Adam and Eve's childrens had a relationship with each other?

Yes. Not weird under their current circumstances.

Do you know the game 100 doors? Keep open them until you find the one that really put you outside.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful with your beliefs or anything, just trying to get the picture better.

Is there anything in the bible that says something about this?

Yep. weird and incestuously wrong.

Like I said under their circumstances. Not by our standards anymore.

How do we share dna with a tree? did they fornicate with them too?

Where in my original post did I mention a tree?

are you enlightened enough? or does the grace of god not permit this?

There is nothing wrong to have the grace of God and be enlightened at the same time.
But me enlightened? I don't know.
I'm looking for enlightenment? Yes definitely.

Outside is a state of mind, you don't have to go anywhere to be there.

So with the flat earth... If you are at a music festival standing all the way in back of a crowd. When you look towards the stage you can see the spot light casting light down towards the stage... Using that thought. So the earth is a flat plain. The sun and moon are rotating. Why can we not see the sun (spot light) in the distance? Also using the flat earth model, sun light is only cast on approximately one third of the earths surface at a time. When in reality light is cast on approximately one half of the surface. Please explain.

With two people on a beach with stop watches. On standing and one sitting. Watching the sun set if they start their watches at the same time please explain why the person sitting see's the sun set sooner than the one whos standing.

Im not expecting any answers that have any basis in reality.

I really have no idea how flat earth is related to this post.

Outside is a spiritual thing, we can be trained to get outside this physical body and see. But is not something that can done overnight.

The really interesting thing here is;
The tree of life was already there and the tree of science was already there, so.
1. If God did not wanted them to have knowledge why He put the tree of science in there?
2. If God did not wanted them to have eternal life why He put the tree of life in there?

So the snake was not that wise, I would have said to them eat from the tree of life first and then eat from the tree of science.

(Something is happening here, hmmm)

Need to investigate a bit more.

My context is not flat earth related, but more religious or philosophical related.

Pardon me if the post was misunderstood.

Perhaps your idea of what those 2 trees respresent is a little off the mark.

Tree of life
Tree of the knowledge of good and bad
Right and Wrong​—How Should You Decide?

WHO has the authority to set the standards of right and wrong? That question was raised at the very beginning of human history. According to the Bible book of Genesis, God designated a tree that was growing in the garden of Eden as “the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.” (Genesis 2:9) God instructed the first human pair not to eat the fruit from this tree. However, God’s enemy, Satan the Devil, suggested that if they ate from this tree, their eyes were “bound to be opened” and they were “bound to be like God, knowing good and bad.”​—Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:1, 5; Revelation 12:9.

Adam and Eve faced a decision​—should they accept God’s standards of good and bad or should they follow their own? (Genesis 3:6) They chose to disobey God and to eat from the tree. What did this simple act imply? By refusing to respect the limits placed on them by God, they asserted that they and their offspring would be better off setting their own standards of right and wrong. How successful has mankind been in attempting to exercise this godlike power?

Knowledge: Insight, Volume 2

After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit (Ge 2:17; 3:5, 6), Jehovah said to his associate in creative work (Joh 1:1-3): “Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad.” (Ge 3:22) This apparently did not mean merely having knowledge of what was good and what was bad for them, for the first man and woman had such knowledge by reason of God’s commands to them. Furthermore, God’s words at Genesis 3:22 could not pertain to their now knowing what was bad by experience, for Jehovah said that they had become like him and he has not learned what is bad by doing it. (Ps 92:14, 15) Evidently, Adam and Eve got to know what was good and what was bad in the special sense of now judging for themselves what was good and what was bad. They were idolatrously placing their judgment above God’s, disobediently becoming a law to themselves, as it were, instead of obeying Jehovah, who has both the right and the wisdom necessary to determine good and bad. So their independent knowledge, or standard, of good and bad was not like that of Jehovah. Rather, it was one that led them to misery.​—Jer 10:23.

Jer 10:23, 21

23 I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not belong to him.

It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.
...
21 For the shepherds have behaved senselessly,

And they have not inquired of Jehovah.

That is why they have not acted with insight,

And all their flocks have been scattered.”

I see that more as a gift. Like when we are thinking of someone and they call on the phone right then. Thats not something we consciously decide to do.

If you think you have that kind of control, remember, we can't turn one hair on our head white or black.

if you insist you can, SRI would like to speak with you.
