Where did the fallout of belief come from?
In other words, when did Man stop believing in God to the point where he had to reveal himself again to Abraham?
And then to Moses?
And then to Noah?

A book of fables told by illiterates of over 2 to 4 thousand years ago should not be used to guide ones life.

God said, do not touch the tree in the midst [ center or middle ], of the garden, lest ye die.
Gen.3:1-5;
Satan said, ye will not die. So Eve as told by her husband, had touched it when
she went to him and told him, so he touched it as well.
1Cor.15:22-28,51-53;
As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Noah, Abraham and Moses knew that Adam was not the first creation created in the image of God Gen.1:26; God said."Let us make man in our
likeness, after our image."
God had sacrificed the life sustaining earth to save Noah. They knew they were innocent but had inherited the imperfections of sin from Adam to be dying every day of life. Only the first creation created by God could be the savior of all the offsprings of Adam.
Abraham had been given the Promised Land covenant 430 years before Moses Exo.12:40,41; Gal.3:16-18; Moses would give a people the law 430 years to 470 years and the Judges would be over the Promised Land after
7 Nations of land pirates were wiped out Acts 13:17-23; There was no peace until after the death of David, when Solomon had peace enough at 480 years after the death of Moses 1Ki.2:10,11 [ david dies ], 1Ki.6:1; 480 years after Moses Solomon begans the temple. 950 years after Abraham gets the Promised Land covenant. Solomon will live another 36 years. 1Ki.11:42;

Well I forget about Abraham yeah... Soddom and Gomorah? Yeah i think it was that. Or how he tested him with Isaac. Anyway, you know he is regarded like.. a patriarch in the Abrahamic religions.
And with Noah, you know, the state of the world had gone down... like everyone was messin' up and Noah was the only guy who really was still good. This is when God created the flood. He needed Noah and his family to collect the animals and make sure that the world would get repopulated.
And Moses was special too, because God chose him to lead the slaves to freedom.

The fall out happened in Genesis when Adam and Eve disobey God and brought sin into the world. But thank God unlike Adam, Eve, Noah, and Moses we have Salvation through Christ not through the Law.

There is an old Ethiopian folklore that tell this story.
Heaven was very close to Earth that local people could talk to God and the Angels. It was so wonderful and a very graceful time until one day a Mule ( a child of a horse and a donkey) ate to the full and couldn't stand still. The Mule decided to shout and kick it's leg. It accidentally kicked heaven so hard that God got angry and cursed the Mule to never a child, and for man-kinds laziness in not protecting heaven, he pulled Heaven away from mans' reach.

Mankind never stopped believing, they stopped following God's commands. There were 10 generations between Adam & Eve and Noah. By that time we had gotten so far away from God that out of love, he flooded the earth.
But soon thereafter he made a covenant that he would never again destroy the world, but would guide us back to our relationship with him through love and discipline.
The truth is, mankind is stupid. We continue to sin when we know we shouldn't, and we continue to not do the things we know we should. But through it all, God has maintained and upheld his promise that he would love us unconditionally, forgive us if we ask him, and discipline us to walk in his way so that we can enjoy an eternal life with him.

God never stopped reviewing himself to his creation. Just the channel he used to communicate. God being perfect could no longer reveal himself to a sinful man. Adam's off-spring Cain was verbally disciplined by God. Moses was also spoken through verbal conversations. Later on God used prophets to speak of his word and prophesied future events. Today God speaks through the bible, the inspired, written word of God. Everything we will ever need to know - why were here, what's our purpose, what happens after we die, and what eternity holds for us (Revelations).

Some people believe in God, Moses, Noah, and the idea that there is something bigger out there, too big for our human brain to comprehend. But then some poeple don't believe in a religion that tells them how to live my life.
