I understand the religious connotation of Boxcar’s theory; however, one can not ignore nor deny that
for the majority God resides in all aspects of life including governmental and political philosophy. Our forefathers thought so, too: “In God we trust;” “...one nation under God;” etc.
Although I do not believe in the literal existence of Adam and Eve, I do believe that the story was created to explain man’s first cognitive realization of sin (the nature of corruption, if you will), and that the concept of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ evolved, as did man.
Personally, today, to her detriment, I believe Eve would be a hardcore liberal.
Some food for thought, IMO:
What Is Human Nature?

So while all of us as human beings have a mind capable of analytical thought and reason, we don’t all behave and respond in the same way. The vast majority of us continue to yield unknowingly to the constant bombardment from Satan that manifests itself in selfishness and evil desires far too often.
