75:5.1 [[Eve]]' s [[disillusionment]] was truly [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pathetic pathetic]. [[Adam]] [[discerned]] the whole predicament and, while heartbroken and dejected, entertained only pity and [[sympathy]] for his erring [[mate]].
75:5.2 It was in the [[despair]] of the [[realization]] of failure that [[Adam]], the day after [[Eve]]'s misstep, sought out Laotta, the brilliant [[Nodite]] woman who was head of the western schools of [[the Garden]], and with premeditation committed the [[folly]] of [[Eve]]. But do not misunderstand; [[Adam]] was not beguiled; he knew exactly what he was about; he [[deliberately]] [[chose]] to [[share]] the [[fate]] of [[Eve]]. He [[loved]] his [[mate]] with a [[supermortal]] [[affection]], and the [[thought]] of the [[possibility]] of a lonely [[vigil]] on [[Urantia]] without her was more than he could [[endure]].
75:5.3 When they learned what had happened to [[Eve]], the infuriated [[inhabitants]] of [[the Garden]] became unmanageable; they declared [[war]] on the near-by [[Nodite]] settlement. They swept out through the gates of [[Eden]] and down upon these unprepared people, utterly destroying them—not a [[man]], [[woman]], or [[child]] was spared. And ''Cano'', the [[father]] of [[Cain]] yet unborn, also perished.
75:5.4 Upon the [[realization]] of what had happened, ''Serapatatia'' was overcome with [[consternation]] and beside himself with [[fear]] and remorse. The next day he drowned himself in the great [[river]].
75:5.5 The [[children]] of [[Adam]] sought to [[comfort]] their distracted [[mother]] while their [[father]] wandered in [[solitude]] for thirty days. At the end of that [[time]] [[judgment]] asserted itself, and [[Adam]] returned to his [[home]] and began to [[plan]] for their [[future]] [[course]] of [[action]].
75:5.6 The [[consequences]] of the [[follies]] of misguided [[parents]] are so often [[shared]] by their [[innocent]] [[children]]. The upright and [[noble]] sons and daughters of [[Adam and Eve]] were overwhelmed by the inexplicable sorrow of the unbelievable [[tragedy]] which had been so suddenly and so ruthlessly thrust upon them. Not in fifty years did the older of these [[children]] recover from the [[sorrow]] and sadness of those tragic days, especially the [[terror]] of that period of thirty days during which their [[father]] was [[absent]] from [[home]] while their distracted [[mother]] was in complete [[ignorance]] of his whereabouts or [[fate]].
75:5.7 And those same thirty days were as long years of [[sorrow]] and [[suffering]] to [[Eve]]. Never did this [[noble]] [[soul]] fully recover from the [[effects]] of that excruciating period of [[mental]] [[suffering]] and [[spiritual]] [[sorrow]]. No feature of their subsequent deprivations and [[material]] [[Difficulty|hardships]] ever began to [[compare]] in [[Eve]]'s [[memory]] with those terrible days and awful nights of loneliness and unbearable [[uncertainty]]. She learned of the rash [[act]] of ''Serapatatia'' and did not know whether her [[mate]] had in [[sorrow]] destroyed himself or had been removed from the world in [[retribution]] for her misstep. And when [[Adam]] returned, [[Eve]] [[experienced]] a [[satisfaction]] of [[joy]] and [[gratitude]] that never was effaced by their long and [[difficult]] life [[partnership]] of toiling [[service]].
75:5.8 [[Time]] passed, but [[Adam]] was not certain of the [[nature]] of their offense until seventy days after the [[default]] of [[Eve]], when the [[Melchizedek receivers]] returned to [[Urantia]] and assumed [[jurisdiction]] over world affairs. And then he knew they had failed.
75:5.9 But still more trouble was brewing: The news of the [[annihilation]] of the [[Nodite]] settlement near [[Eden]] was not slow in reaching the [[home]] [[tribes]] of ''Serapatatia'' to the north, and presently a great host was assembling to march on [[the Garden]]. And this was the beginning of a long and bitter [[warfare]] between the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73#73:1._THE_NODITES_AND_THE_AMADONITES Adamites and the Nodites], for these hostilities kept up long after [[Adam]] and his followers [[emigrated]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76 second garden] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphrates Euphrates] valley.
