Adam and Eve Learn by Trial and Error

Random thought: it's amazing some of the earliest people lived to be several hundred years old. After being kicked out of Eden, there was a lot to figure out. They had to learn how to survive, and I imagine there would be a lot of mistakes along the way. The earliest generations would probably encounter a lot of problems.

Overrated Things

Some things just aren't as great as the hype surrounding them might suggest. Like, why is this is so popular? It's not all that. Seriously.
