Living in harmony with nature is so essential to our well-being 1 that it is the first lesson of scripture 2. The account of creation in the book of Genesis tells of the idyllic 3 Garden of Eden where man lives amid beauty and new life. Rather than be contrary to scientific explanations of the origins of the world, Genesis can be read as a parable 4 about the need for man and woman, God and nature to live together, a communion of balance. That idyll was lost when the serpent tempted 5 Adam, persuading him that he knew best. It was as if the leaves shrivelled, the birds fell silent, and the flowers drooped 6.
我们《圣经》中的第一课就是，和自然和谐共处对我们有莫大的好处。《创世纪》中关于造人章节中，描述了一个田园诗般的伊甸园，人们在其中体会着生机勃勃之美。跟世界起源的科学解释不同，《创世纪》有其比喻意义，男人和女人，上帝和自然之间有和谐共存、均衡发展的必要。当毒蛇诱惑了亚当，让他觉得自己无所不知的时候，伊甸园消失了，枝叶枯萎了，鸟儿静默了，花朵凋零了。
