Project Statement

Man was not “caste out” from the Garden of Eden, rather he left on his own volition. When he ate the “apple” he got an idea and that idea has turned into a 4000+ year project to make his own “Garden” right on top of the Garden that the rest of creation still lives in. I’m going to use my project to stop and take a look at this “idea” with, I hope, as little preconceived prejudice as possible.
