Most Christians, Jews, and Muslims will tell you that Adam first sinned when defyling God's perfect Garden with temptation and defience of God's command. That is when sin entered the world.
My theory is different.
In the bible, it is written that God created light, earth, the garden, animals and man and said that it was good. By "good" it means perfect since a perfect creator would only proclaim a perfect product "good."
The problem is that in the bible, it said that Adam felt LONLINESS. Many theologians overlook this but I found it odd...
How could man, God's perfect creation find lonliness or imperfection in God's perfect garden?
This was apparantly before the introduction of the temptation of the serpent.
So answer this, How could Man, feel lonliness in a perfect garden?
Is the creation story flawed.
If not, what is the answer?

It didn't say that Adam felt lonliness.....it's says that God saw that Adam didn't have a suitable partner.....and that man should not be alone.
This was God speaking...not Adam.

He felt loneliness because he was not perfect. The underlying meaning of the word perfect is complete. God had created everything else in the garden in pairs -- male and female. Man was not complete because he was not yet male and female like the rest of God's perfect creation. So Adam felt incomplete. When God completed him by making Eve, then he was perfect.

The story is not about a historical individual named 'Adam'. There is no name 'Adam' in Hebrew. If we really wanted to translate the story properly, the name of the main character would be "Human" (which is what Adam means in Hebrew).
The story is about human beings in general, which is why it addresses our lonliness, our loss of innocence, and other things every person experiences.

i suggest you read it again....adam and eve had the same sin....they broke the law and took from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil/satan/serpent/devil etc....what did they do? why did they suddenly know about their sexual parts and cover them up? why did God then tell the serpent/satan/tree of knowledge of good and evil.."I will put emnity between THY/serpent/devil SEED and the woman's seed"?????? hmmm where did the serpent have a SEED planted? why was cain not mentioned in adam's geneology?you can figure it out from there i hope...
