Eve, The Founder of Science

Rev. Ernie Mills

Could it be that the mother of science was just that, a mother? Yes, I believe it could be and indeed it was, in my opinion. It all depends on how you interpret the role of Eve in the Genesis myth of the Fall. Instead of bringing sin and death into the world, as orthodox interpretations would have it, I believe Eve was willing to think outside the box, wonder, reach out beyond the established boundaries, even if it meant angering the gods and get the science ball rolling. Eve gets blamed for the Fall, but really should get the credit for being the true mother of science.

After all, who wrote the Book of Genesis?
