Now on assuming this to be what the world once was, we see a breakup in the relationship with the Creator and His creation. The Bible refers to this first divorce case as sin. Assuming this to be true you can see the problems this may have caused, why you just need to read the news and see how we all still strive to be better than anyone else, by whatever means possible, be it murder, fraud, war, greed and etc. We, in this world all would like to be in control in one way or another. We all strive for perfection, but always end up corrupting everything, we seek power, control and freedom at ALL expenses and consequences.
History shows it over and over again.
Mankind in all their wisdom have tried to make their own path and turn away from the original righteous path of God. We have all been separated from God and His original plan for us by sin, as mentioned above. We still, after all these years, make a mess of what was intended to be. Without much fear or consideration we, choose our own way instead of God's way. We miss the mark and never live up to the original standard that God set out for us.
