John Locke Said that All Materials of Reason and Knowledge Come from the Experience.

 The Theory of Tabula Rasa

In their ignorance of the meaning of the Garden of Eden, many people seem to think that Eve symbolized woman as sex and that he, Adam, somehow also represented man as sex. The truth goes far beyond this; Adam and Eve in the Garden represent all humanity in the first Adam, the human being who has lived and will live on earth. What happened to them also happens to the rest of the humans. What they were, were all humans. Their experiences are the experiences of all humanity. Their fate is the fate of the entire human race. What happened to the couple in the Garden speaks of realities even today. It is all of humanity that the Garden speaks of, not just them. All human beings are confronted, even today, loved, directed, accused, expelled, instructed, and redeemed by the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Spirit that teaches and guides us. 

The book of Genesis is, then, the beginning, the innocence, the guilt, the redemption, and the perfection of every man and woman. What happened there is what is happening to humanity here and now. They represent what men and women are. They represent man and woman as we know them, with all their capacities and potentials, under the influence of their Creator. Being created purely spiritually, in the image and likeness of their Creator, by disobedience to the Superior Law, they fell into the merely biological, like the rest of the animals God created.

Tabula Rasa and John Locke's Theory

Tabula rasa ("blank slate"; sometimes incorrectly translated as "blank slate") is a theory that each individual is born with an "empty" mind, that is, without innate qualities, so that all knowledge and abilities of each human being come exclusively from learning, through their experiences and their sensory perceptions. Defenders of the tabula rasa disagree with the doctrine of nativism, which holds that the mind is already born with specific knowledge.

Tabula Rasa is a Latin phrase that can be translated as "clean slate" or "blank slate" and originates in the tabula that the Romans used to take notes, which was cleaned by heating the wax and leveling it.

John Locke says: "Suppose the mind is, as we say, a blank piece of paper, empty of any character, without any idea. How is it filled? has man painted upon it with almost infinite variety? Where do all the materials of reason and knowledge come from? To answer in one word, it comes from the experience."

What the Bible Says

 "My mother conceived me in sin" is a phrase that expresses David's confession of his sin. Some interpret this phrase as proof that people are sinners from before they are born and that they inherit the sin of their parents. Others understand that David refers to the sinful environment in which he was born and learned to sin through the world's influence. Some translate the phrase differently, such as that David suffered for his iniquity." (Psalm 51:5).

Transgenerational Inheritance

The fear suffered by Adam left epigenetic marks in the genome of his DNA. These were transferred by genetic inheritance to his son Seth, begotten in his likeness and image, and the subsequent generations (transgenerational trauma). Transgenerational genetic memory is a concept that describes the transfer of history marked in the genetic material of an individual or a species, their knowledge, skills, and traumas that were experienced throughout their lives or in that of their ancestors.

The disobedience of having eaten the forbidden fruit not only produced a change in the couple but, through the modification in DNA genetics, survived them to the subsequent generations by genetic inheritance. The transgression removed the man from the Garden, from communion with his Creator, from his knowledge, from his science and wisdom, and left him at random, like the animals of Darwin, guided by their instinctual drives. With the "transgression," DNA was altered, its genome, not its sequence, and epigenetic marks emerged that would modify its expression in himself and in his future generation.

Those epigenetic words, distorted and confused, spoken or suggested by the snake to the woman, tinged with irony and half-truths, brought confusion and doubt into the couple's mind. The man already began to think and act according to his thoughts, not those of his Creator, and already started to think and act according to his thoughts, not those of his Creator.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways.”

Discarding the words of his Creator, man lost all that information of the mysteries and the wisdom and the science of God, and 80% of his neurons went out and became "junk," as some scientists declare.

 "Therefore, as sin entered the world through one man, (Adam), and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned." (Romans 5:12).

"Though you wash yourself with lye and use much soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me, declares the Lord God." (Jeremiah 2:22).

"But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!" (15). 

“Have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:  who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; instead, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore, God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:5-11)
