Feel free to remove this, mods, if it's too tangential to modern science, but I thought the community might find this early nature vs. nurture hypothesis amusing

This was perhaps done to "prove a hole in Adam and Eve story"? They were manufactured as adults, but might then lack the childish capacity for language learning. If created with fully developed language capacity, then why not create them with full understanding of obedience to God's will. It would take a lot of time and patience to teach God's language at a pace suitable for undeveloped beings made of dust and ribs.

Some goat herders in the bronze age had this fun story about why snakes, the smartest animal, didn't have legs. Also the storm God of wrath that demands the blood of the first born babies or he will strike you dead, made a golem and named him 'red man' and he made a woman from the golem parts, and there were trees of concepts, and a flaming sword, and uhh.. yeah it kind of went off the rails. This is why I only worship Ashera. El and Adoni are such dicks.
