Cover it with concrete and kill everything in sight.

Originally posted by divegeesterThat is merely one way that man "subdues the earth" according to his biblical mandate. He is adapting his surroundings to suit himself while imposing his will upon nature. Concrete is implicitly endorsed by Genesis.

But possibly still on concrete. Or was knowledge of concrete something Adam got from the forbidden fruit? If so, is man better off now or worse off (than Adam)?
Do you think we're better off now than Adam was then?
