Starting at verse 9 of Genesis 6, it explains that Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japeth, and that he was a man who walked with God. When God saw that the earth was corrupt he commanded Noah to build an ark big enough for two of each animal, a male and a female, so that he may flood the earth for forty days and nights. Noah brought the animals and his family. God sent rain and killed everything that was on the earth, bugs, livestock, and humans, aside from whom was on the ark. The waters receded gradually. Noah sent out a dove three times and when it didn't come back the third time he knew the land was dry. God then makes a promise that he will never smite every living thing again. God tells Noah and his family to populate the earth again

In Dr. Philip Zimbardo’s psychology experiment called the Stanford prison experiment, he came to realization without rules and structure of the guards, they can take matters into their own hands and do whatever they want. The prisoners were deindividualized and were just called by their number on their uniform. The cruel and unusual punishments that the guards inflicted got too out of hand would cause the prisoners to have a mental breakdown and wouldn 't be able to finish the experiment. Zimbardo called this the lucifer effect. In William Golding’s novel “Lord of the Flies” and Sheryl St. Germain’s poem “In the Garden of Eden,” Lucifer and evil are also temptations, which eventually creates the fall of man.

This is obtained from ‘J’, the Yahwest source which related to ‘sons of god’ which implies some sort of leadership that is believed by multiple biblical authors such as M.G Kline. A belief of hebrew mythology is where the other gods reference originates, Even so the advantage over the ‘daughters of humans’ brings the “misrepresentation of the order appointed by God” stated by W.

Genesis chapter 1 explains that humans are created in the image of God. Knight (2006) expands upon this idea by explaining that the mental, spiritual and physical identity of humans were inherited at creation from His image, and thereby possess some of His traits, such as love and rationality. Knight clarifies that, after the fall, humanity changed and the image we possess from the creator was corrupted but not completely distorted; humans still have the image, though incompletely expressed, of the heavenly creator. With the thought that humanity has love and rationality we can examine the similarities between Christian philosophy and the reconstructionist philosophy. Ozmon (2012) and Cohen (1999) agree that reconstructionism can be
