Who Is to Blame - You or Your Genes? - How It All Started

Most people are familiar with, or at least have heard of, the account about the fall of the human pair, Adam and Eve, in the garden of Eden.  Were they made with some intrinsic defect in the genes right from the start, a sort of design flaw that predisposed them to sin and disobedience?  

Their Creator, Jehovah God, whose works are all perfect, proclaimed that his crowning earthly creation was "very good." (Genesis 1:31; Deuteronomy 32:4) As further evidence of his satisfaction with his work, he gave the first couple his blessing and instructed them to be fruitful, to fill the earth with human creatures, and to take charge of his earthly creation-hardly the actions of someone uncertain of his handiwork. - GENESIS 1:28. 

Regarding the creation of the first human pair, the Bible tells us: "God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him; and made male and female he created them." (Genesis 1:27)  This does not mean that humans were made to resemble God in physical appearance, for "God is Spirit." (John 4:24) Rather, it means that human creatures were endowed with godly qualities and a sense of morality, a conscience.  (Romans 2:14, 15)  They were also free moral agents, capable of weighing a matter and deciding on the action to take.

Note: Well, I am so sorry, but you could have fooled me. It is very hard to tell now days. No one seems use to  logic, or common sense or knows how to be analytical. From what I have observed also, no one really cares. Oh, they pretend to care, but when it comes down to it, there is no compassion, or respect not for the elderly, or for most people, but especially the elderly. Being old, does not make you stupid, forgetful at times, but not stupid! And like Jehovah God, I am sick of All this wickedness, corruptness, greed, immorality, deceit,dishonesty, disobedience to God and a big lack of faith in God.  If people had the faith they should have, they would not let anyone or the Government to scare them and run over them  because they crave control.
