You are really bringing out the idea of endless possibilities, then we don't need God to tell us through scripture whats up.

When God says "..in the beginning" according to you, it was not the beginning, it must have been a transition from another world or an end to another world?!
When it is said "..in 6 days, God established the heavens and earth and all that's in them..", to you it means God had some other days before the 6 days, that He created other creatures.

There are no two Edens, just one according to the scripture and the events that took place in that garden are not multiple, just one. It's up to you to reconcile your understanding of the different stories around this 'garden'.

Just to clarify, I said people believe different things. I didn't say I believe everything other people think.

I do believe angels were the 1st to commit sin. I do not believe Adam was the devil.

And one more thing; A snake did not speak to Eve just like a snake did not tempt Jesus. These are symbolic of the struggles that happen in our hearts.

Heb 4: 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.

Q. Does a snake speak to you everyday? Did a snake ever tempt you?

You can kill someone with your literalism

Today, literalism is "mental illness". I believe evil spirits exist, not that they are simply attitudes, or undesirable thoughts or qualities.

Yes but the covenant of Abraham can't be overlooked.

I'm not overlooking it. That covenant was of faith,

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: Rom.4:11
