I want to explain a story that is told in Genesis 3 and John 3. The opening pages of the Bible give us Paradise. And indeed it is the beauty of nature. Nature that is untainted, absolutely pure. We cant imagine. In Gods paradise, not only is there all this beauty, with no garbage, but there is never conflict. Adam relates with all of the animals as he names them. Adam and Eve are one, naked and unashamed, a picture of nothing to hide, no conflict, no competition, absolute openness and acceptance. And best of all, Adam and Eve live with God in Paradise.
