I suppose it could have been a metaphor. Maybe he used that because the real method was beyond our comprehension capabilities. And not only did Adam and Eve believe in God, they SPOKE with him, they WALKED with him, they LIVED with him in the Garden of Eden. It was not until generations later that humans began to either hate God, or not believe his existence. Seeing what was happening, God flooded the earth, I know you know about that, saving Noah and his family. For some more generations, all believed in and loved God, under Noah's education of the matter. But then, as human beings always do, they began to drift away from God. They built the tower of Bel, hoping to become more powerful that God. So God created the different languages, so they could no longer speak with one another, and fled to their families, who spoke the tongue God laid upon them. As humans are sinful by nature since the fall in Eden, we, without guidance from God and other believers, will naturally drift toward a sinful life. It's the way we are, and even I, a lifelong Christian, spent years trying to come to terms with that.

Now let me ask YOU a question... You say you have no doubt of the non-existence of God. If this is true, why do you keep a bible by your bed? Why do you read the stories? Why bother, if none of it is real?
