Kindest Regards, all!
This is a collection of posts from another thread where "I" got a little silly, but it started what could be an interesting conversation should any care to join in:
With this as a start, I wonder from time to time about the composition of "Adam." Now, it seems to me Adam was a natural human being, in which case the "elimination process" would seem to be as was intended. Yet, I can also see where some may think that such a process is an evidence of a fallen state or fallen nature of humanity.
Manna, as I recall the Exodus story, is described as "angel food." Which implies that angels eat. If angels eat, do they poop? If energy must be converted to sustain life, there must be some elimination of by-products, "ash" if you will.
Then too, if humans (including Adam and Eve) are extensions of animals, and would have processed and eliminated in the garden (of all of these trees you may eat, except...), it still seems to me a natural and "good" process as intended by the Creator. This seems to me sustained by the fact that even single celled creatures absorb and eliminate...at a cellular level, simple cells absorb and eliminate...what we have now is a digestive system that has specialized into what we understand as stomach and related organs, small and large intestines, colon and elimination muscles, along with a litany of associated organs that differentiate and process the various chemical results of the "fire" in our bellies. This is truly a marvel in itself, and no small miracle when it works as it should, (just ask anybody whose process *doesn't* work as it should).
So, while this subject is prone to sophomoric humor, I am asking if others feel the digestive and elimination process are evidence in their beliefs of G-d's creative ability, or of humanity's fallen nature? Are we fallen because we poop? Do we doo doo in heaven?

I can do do too. Every morning, like clockwork.
