>>11455347God made man in his likeness. ie, man has the spirit and nature of God, not his literal physical appearance. This is why we're such abysmal failures, we failed to conquer our internal conflicts and dual nature. We were supposed to take care of this place. The Creator chose us because our ancestors were found to free other animals from his traps.
There are two things in man.
The male and the female. The mother and the father. The love and the hate. The sadness and the anger. So too of the Creator. The flawed Creator gave rise to flawed creations, and in dealing with them and seeing his own distorted reflection, he was driven to madness and despair. To reconcile this, he was split in two. Part of him desired to punish, destroy, subjugate, his foolish creations. Part of him recognized their fear and misery, and desired to lead them to salvation, to guide, to support, to care, and to rescue.
Therefore, the only option was abandonment. Man is not "fallen", it is abandoned. The creator could not bring itself to love us, nor could it finish us off, and so we were left alone. It came back to us eventually in a form we could recognize and emulate (Christ), was rejected, and then left us yet again. The bulk of man still seems to lust after externally defined meaning and purpose, and they find it filled by the various predators of this world who seek to violate natural law which is of course literally impossible. This is Satan. People see "science" and think we're living in a life after God, but we are not, God is still here but people create and carry him in a different form. Their behavior makes this obvious, they are still looking for a God, though they now shun him in those other, older forms.
