When God first made humans he labeled them his "Model A People Attempt"--MAPA's for short. But Model A or "A" for short, had serious problems. Although one "A" could produce baby "a's" and then these when adult could produce other baby "a's" there was great difficulty. All the babies were absoultely identical and no one could tell one from the other. No one knew whose baby was who's. This caused considerable fighting among the MAPA'S. When and "A" went to fetch water or food, "A" would have to leave baby "a" all alone as there was no one to protect the baby and soon other MAPA'S would snatch the baby and claim them as theirs. No one could resolve this difficulty as they all looked alike. The garden was also a disaster as the apple trees, always had perfect apples, the flowers that God planted were identical and even the animals and their babies all looked exactly alike. Everything was perfect, but since there was no chance for new and different plants and animals to evolve, absolutely no variety, it was a very dull world. And God saw that this was not good.

After seeing all the dullness in his garden and the fifficulties his "A" model was having in living and replicating, he began calling this human being "ADA" for "a Dumb A." God then felt that one human was an odd number and that this could be improved if he made two humans with different genes that could live together, so he took a rib from an ADA to make one more being calling it "ADA Modified" or ADAM. Since two was now an even number of humans, God called the second of the two human beings "even" but later shortened it to "EVE." And God saw that this was good.

God then felt the need to join ADAM and EVE in a manner that would encourage them to live together and produce offspring. God soon realized that this coupling, each with different genes, would produce offspring, each being unique individuals. Now everyone could tell who's baby was who's. God made the same changes in his garen so that soon many varieties of plants and animals covered the earth. And God saw that this was good.

God soon realized that ADAM and EVE had quite different characteristics. ADAM would go out and fetch the water and food while EVE stayed in their shelter. EVE was modified in a way to house the baby in her body while the baby was being formed and with a strong desire to protect the baby when born so other MAPA's could not snatch the baby. God also realized EVE was no longer a MAPA but a modified A calling this type of human being a MA. God then realized that ADAM having lost a rib was also no longer a MAPA and now only a partial A calling this type of human being a PA. His MAPA's he then called the Ma's and the Pa's or the Mama's and the Papa's. And God saw that this was good. And that's the truth.

The moral of the story:

In today's world, there are some ethnic groups who wish others were just like them and cause great harm to those who are not. They fail to realize that "variety is the spice of life" and that God had tried this approach and realized the terrible difficulities and boredom this caused human beings.
