This is a start of a new series called The Hermeneutical Key; it is the key to interpret scripture. Today's topic is The Garden of Eden. In the Bible (Genesis 3:8,9 ) we read the story of the fall of Adam and Eve ; God was walking and talking with them; He had a relationship with them. Also in the Bible the Garden of Eden was on earth. In the Quran, Chapter (2: 30-39,7: 19-25); the garden of Eden is in heaven, God is not in the garden. This means we are not talking about the same thing; the God of the Bible is omnipotent,; he entered time and space and took on a human form. The God of the Bible is not the Allah of the Quran.

They also discuss the scientific results of mental health issues that both women and children suffer in a polygamist marriages.
