  1. If you weren't being honest, whatever your viewpoint, you would be bleeding viewers. This was an excellent thoughtful video, which could generate hours and hours of discussion. I hadn't really thought before that you were trying to convince or proselytize people, so much as you were just sharing your interest with like minded people. Sometimes (meaning often) people are not convinced by philosophical arguments and point by point lessons. Powerful arguments can be made through stories. Think of how Jesus taught through parables. They have a lesson/point to them, and you can't pick them apart and analyze them too far, or you get lost in the weeds and miss the point. As for the Garden of Eden story, the premise is that creation is good, and Adam and Eve lack for nothing and face no danger. Somehow things have to get screwed up to get to the world we live in. So they eat of the fruit and become aware. This is where we get the actual state of the world where Mankind has a moral sense, we know good and evil by contrasts. Evil is not an equal opposite of good, it is a corruption of the right use everything in the world. That's my take on it anyway.
