dd you make some good points and i think a lot of it gets down to either personal or literal interpretation of the bible....part of faith is knowing that we are not supposed to understand and know everything...and maybe for the sake of arguement...maybe because adam and eve were created in his image, he didn't think he had to know everthing

...because adam and eve were supposed to be perfectly obedient...but they threw a monkey wrench in his plans so he put in the "know everything" clause...

i is say this tonge and cheek of course because of what i stated above....and i so back to the original issue...he knew men (and women) would be pleasuring themselves and he again would give them a myriad of choices about it...with of course, one of the choices being what he would ultimately like to see man evolve to....
