Cite all of the resources used with in-text citations, using at least two sources from the Topic 3 readings. Include these in the reference list at the end of the assignment. Write your paragraph response directly below each question: What is revealed about human nature (from Genesis 1-2)?Genesis 1-2 is the beginning of the creation. Humans were created with freewill and following the instructions of God. While Adam was taking care of the animals, naming them, he could feel loneliness and love when Eve joined him. Adam and Eve were working under the command of God, following the instructions in Garden of Eden. Both of them were created in the image of God, they were sinless and most important they will have the eternal life. Until they disobey one of the most important rule of God.  What are the consequences of the fall for human nature (from Genesis 3)? As soon God found out about Adam and Even ate from the prohibit tree, he condemn the serpent first, then God said to the woman, in a very painful way to you will give birth. Your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you. God finish talking to Eve, he went and talked to Adam. He said to Adam, you will have to work the ground, and from it you will eat every day of your life. “By the sweat of your brow you will eat food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for the dust you are and to the dust you will return.” After that, Adam and Eve were banished from The Eden. They started to feel guilt, fear, and separation from God and death. .Finally God said, since man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He is not allowed to reach the fruit of the tree of life, eat and live forever. God moved the tree to the east side of The Garden of Eden guarded by cherubim and a flaming sword. In the end, only the chosen ones and the ones who work their way back to The Garden of Eden will be allow to grab the fruit from the tree of life. What is revealed about human purpose from the readings? What does it mean for humans to flourish, in other words to achieve spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being? People flourish when they have achieve a meaning and purpose in their life. They are optimist, hopeful, and grateful. People flourish making positive impacts on others through their work. People may flourish more honoring God, serving the common good. How might these questions about human nature, purpose, and flourishing be answered by those holding a pantheistic or atheistic (choose one) worldview?For an atheistic the meaning of flourishing is to grow or develop their life in a healthy way. Physically, mentally, and emotionally which means having the resources they need and provide a challenge to live. Even when they do not believe in God, they still think people still can flourish in all kinds of ways.
