One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem!" "What's the problem, Eve?" "Lord, I know you've created me in Your image and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hideous snake, but I'm just not happy." "Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above. "Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples." "Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you." "What's a 'man', Lord?" "A man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego, and an inability to empathize or listen to you properly. All in all, he'll be a pain, but he'll be a challenge for you to civilize. He'll be really good at fighting and kicking a ball about and hunting fleet-footed ruminants. "Sounds great," says Eve, with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, well. He's better than nothing, but you can only have him on one condition." "What's that, Lord?" "You'll have to let him believe that I made him first."
