The poet wants us to know that God is looking for partners, people to help co-create the world. To turn this story into a debate about whether or not Adam and Eve were real people or to read this poem as a science textbook is to miss the provocative, pointed, loaded questions that the poem asks: What will Adam and Eve do with this extraordinary opportunity? What kind of world will they help make? Where will they take it? What will they do with all this creative power they’ve been given?
