the earth .”

As it follows from the above, man with all his imperfections was created in
God’s image and likeness and if God’s image and likeness is so imperfect, it means
that either the very God is far from perfection or he is unable to create anything
worthwhile, which also indicates his imperfection as a creator. Nevertheless, one
thing is clear: man is a God’s likeness.

Let us continue to read the Old Testament:

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into
his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the
man whom he had formed.

15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to
dress it and to keep it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying: Of every tree of the gar-
den thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for
in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
18 And the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will
make him an help meet for him.”

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and
he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto
his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed .

It turns out to be an interesting picture: God lied about the danger to man’s life if
he tasted the fruits from the Tree of Knowledge. He was, probably, afraid that man
would know more that he would want him to know. This is a very strange attitude
toward His own likeness. Besides, the Old Testament says that Adam and Eve were
naked (in Russian – nagi). However, the translation might not be so accurate. The
point is that before the Aryan tribes first arrived in Ancient India four thousands eight
hundred twenty one years ago (in 2817, according to the Slavonic-Aryan chronology,
or in 2692 B.C.), Dravidia, as India was called then, had been inhabited by the Ne-
