The Residents - In the Beginning & God's Business

In the Beginning/Genesis.
Welcome to Wormwood/God's Business.
House of Blues.
Webcast April 1999.

The Israelite God, YHWH, does not create the earth. It already exists, though without form.
He creates man and woman, then makes another woman from the male's rib. The man is Adam, Hebrew for man, and the new woman is Eve, whose name may mean life.
Against YHWH's wishes, Adam and Eve eat some fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. There is a second tree, the tree of life, and He is afraid they will also eat its fruit and become immortal. To protect his realm He asks them to leave the garden.
Look it up. Genesis 1-3.
