Did I say this
Did you read anything I wrote? it appears not. Because if you did, you would not make such a ridiculous statement’
First you falsly accuse me of saying something I did not say.
then you continue the nonsense after I attempted to correct you.
How can you plan on having an honest conversation when you do things like this?

oh I see.
Well I will help you out a bit with this. 🙂
I know that the brain has an inner deep conscience that stores memories from your conscious state.
The consciousness is at the front of the brain it processes thoughts every 24 hours but is unable to store all the millions of thoughts it processes every day.
Only your inner conscience does that but it only stores what your 24 hour processer deems relevant.
So once the memory is stored, that's it, it won't accept anything else without a major battle

I agree and I think this was how God revealed Adam was listening to Him in the exercise of that dominion. Afterall, even Jesus said (during the Incarnation) "I can do nothing of myself"
John 8:28
Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

Sheesh, I had to go back to gather the reason everyone is feeling and smelling animals.
Before eating, they were naked and not ashamed, and after eating, their eyes were opened, and they hid so I assumed they hid because they were ashamed when they saw that they were naked. When God inquired, 'who told you that you were naked...did you eat of the tree that I told you not to eat of?" So, since there is no verse that says that anyone told them they were naked God surmised they had eaten from the tree and judged themselves 'exposed.' And God made them coverings, to comfort their distress... Were they always 'naked' in every sense? As they were naked, both before and after, in the physical sense, were they right to regard themselves as 'naked' after eating? Christ is slain from before the foundation of the world so, should they have ever considered themselves 'uncovered' at all?
I don't know if anyone is staying with me on this trail so, I'll leave it there, but
The cat was named "katool" which means 'diaper,' as is characteristic of cats to slink around one's legs, and the dog was named "kelev" or "caleb" which means "all heart," as is characteristic of the dog's inability to resist being led by its heart's desire nor to hide its emotion.
But, indeed, my cat feels and smells like my old teddy bear...or is it that old fashioned teddy bears smell like my cat because they used to use real cat furs to make them. I guess they were utilized in making rabbits' feet charms also.

God is indeed loving, patient and merciful but He is also perfectly holy, hates evil and loves justice so much He killed every man, woman, child and animal in the Flood bar eight and even killed His own Son at the hands of evil men to save those He loves but you do not yet know this God of Holy Scripture and have made a god to suit yourself and unless He grants you grace you are going to be in for a quite a shock when you stand naked before Him.
Psa 50:21 These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like you; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes.
2Co 5:11a Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;

Grace belongs to God and He only gives it to the humble.
Jas_4:6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."
1Pe_5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."
