It’s funny, but we often do debate the same questions over and over throughout eternity. The debaters change, time change, even the “unique” circumstances change; the questions remain.

I usually don’t post regarding religious topics, although any time the good/evil question comes into play, there’s no avoiding it. I think that in most of our lives there’s a balance, the drive to procreate is good which I confine my actions to a willing spouse, anything outside of both willing and spouse crosses a line. Remember, the Talmud is not the Torah (Old Testament) but an exhaustive commentary on it. Kind of like looking on while scholars debate.

Joe – I respect the angle you’re taking – let me throw something out there.

Genesis 1:28 (before sin entered the world) – God tells Adam & Eve to “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over it”

Man would propogate and would develop because that is what God told them to do.

The term “subdue”, which in Hebrew is “kabash” means “to bring a people or a land into subjection so that it will yield service to the one subduing it”

The idea is that man is to work the land, develop it and bring it to a point of being useful and beneficial to themselves and to mankind.

This command calls for proper development of the land and for work for their own benefit.

Here’s we would differ – the evil uses and motivations for these things come as a result of Genesis 3 – or the Fall of Man, when Adam & Eve give in to Satan’s lies and bring sin into the world.

Good post.
