Excerpt
A fall is typically defined in two general ways: coming down from an upright position, or, to sin. The idea of falling has existed since the beginning of time. If one has confidence in the Bible, there are arguments made for the fall of Adam and Eve in Genesis, or, in scientific nature, there is a case for the collapse of the dinosaur era. In the Biblical version, God created the human form in perfection, His image. He instilled within man freewill, emotions, and soul which are the foundation human nature. Each character trait possesses qualities of the other two, and when together, comprise the essence of being. To illustrate instances of being, one may look to literary and visual representations of the creation of humanity. Exploring these mediums gives insight into the human condition.
