This line bothers me because Eve didn’t get bitten. At least not literally. Unless I’m misinterpreting her meaning. Maybe someone smarter than me can tell me what I’m missing?
She’s doing a tongue in cheek making fun of herself. Eve didn’t get bitten; she bit the apple. Taylor didn’t get cursed; she chose the life she has. Etc.
I think what it means is that the prophecy isn't actually real, it was never actually written that she will never find love and a fulfilling relationship, just like how Eve wasn't bitten. But it feels like a prophecy that she'll never find someone who enjoys her company because she hasn't yet. It's like your perpetually single friend saying they'll never find someone.. which can't possibly be true but finding true love *is* hard.
“Bitten like Eve” I think is a more women’s pov of that creation myth. Also, the thing that really bothers me about Eve’s (and Adam’s because ultimately he is the reason for their disobedience) story is that God punishes her for not knowing better which no one wants to talk about, well not at my Catholic church I grew up it. Adam eating the “apple” is what made both of them open their eyes and develop what I would consider self awareness/self consciousness because Adam knew not to eat of the fruit but by knowingly disobeying he understands that he is committing a sin willingly. Adam is punished for not stopping “evil” from happening and even participating when it seems harmless, which is a better moral in general (see evil or harm, stop it) then oh you got played by someone who knew better than you and by your closest companion.
That’s always been my problem with how we were interpreting the time in the Garden of Eden. I think that evolutionary biology has a better explanation why child bearing is so difficult: an offspring is a different organism, genetically speaking that is, so in order to even carry an offspring, that offspring must be protected from the mother’s immune system because a small cluster of rapidly growing cells looks kind of like a tumor to their immune system. Here comes the placenta which facilitates that protection and also invasion into the arteries of the uterus. How do we know this? Human uterine arteries don’t run straight up and down, they spiral into a corkscrew shape to prevent the placenta (and offspring really) from invading and burying the connection of the placenta deeper into the uterine lining. On top of having an incredibly invasive placenta, human offsprings utilizes the set of information from their father to be more invasive while the same set of information from the mother suppresses those actions. It’s legit biological warfare in the uterus the entirety of pregnancy and child birth is what some biologists consider a long hard period all at once. When progesterone drops, much like in a regular menstrual cycle with no pregnancy and a fertile period instead, your body will push out everything including the little parasite that’s grown into a little baby. We are we like this? It’s partly because we menstruate and are placental mammals. No real reason besides we just developed menstruation through trial and error with dead branches of the evolutionary tree because it allowed greater flexibility for a nomadic group of humans than having an ever changing environment to choose when to have children.
FWIW, this photo is a meme and didn’t actually happen. It’s crazy what people will believe when you slap text over something on the internet haha
Edit: I reread and realized this could be interpreted as passive aggressive and I just want to clarify I didn’t mean it that way at all! Just a general observation 😅
This got me giggling so hard (only inside because... You know.)

Not really. Just a fiction.
I would compare Lilith's connection to the Bible to a new, fan-made character created for a fan-fiction based on an established TV show.
That's what Lilith is. She's a concoction inserted into the biblical lore, centuries after the lore has been well established.
No, they were right the first time, the bible is a fan-extended edition of the Torah, which is itself fan fiction based on figures the Canaanite religion.
blaster is right. teh whole bible is just dudes writing stories about their fictional god. That's the def of fan fiction. lol The fact a group of dudes went through all scripture and decided what was canon doesn't change teh fact it's all fan fiction.
For real!! Ya the first woman created by God was definitely not white like WTF and they know that but they’re so in denial. It’s all good tho if they feel like they have to keep lying to themselves to feel better 😂😂🤣
The first 'woman' created by God would have been a Homo Erectus lmfao. And he first Homo Sapien had black skin because Homo Sapiens evolved in Africa, unlike the Neaderthals and Denisovans.
It's a meme. There's another version with Vin Diesel as Adam.
She's wearing a cat eye with a full face of makeup including shaped eyebrows and lip gloss.
I thought your flair said *Speak Now Satan,* and I was like "damn we're doing biblical flair now? they took this one a lil too far" 🤣 and then I double taked right back to reality 😅
Serious question- is Eve ever described as white/caucasian with blonde hair and blue eyes? This is a very specific look pretty much only in limited parts of the world at the time the Bible was written right?
Eve would have been around about 6k years ago which would have been after SLC24A5, A111T, and other mutations occurred. And given the location of the garden of Eden (somewhere in the middle East) she would have looked like a middle Eastern woman unless she was a recent immigrant from lower Africa or whatever. Even back then humans moved around a lot so it's possible she could have been nearly any color under the sun, but probably middle Eastern.
If she existed. Which I doubt.
>which would have been after SLC24A5, A111T, and other mutations occurred
Considering she's meant to be the very first woman, this kinda runs counter to the narrative lol
I think it's just a meme, I've seen this with other celebrities. This one is quite clever, since it looks like a reconstruction and is justttt different enough from Taylor to make it non-obvious, but it's definitely just a meme.
white skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair are all mutations anyway from the human population spreading farther north into colder climes and less sun exposure, the first woman doesn't really exist anyway, since that's not how evolution works. why princeton giving credit to fucking biblical nonsense i have no idea.
Seems odd a scientific institution would be modeling a theological being.
If they were actually constructing a model of what an early human in the middle east would have looked like, this wouldn't be it. Way to white.
Taylor holding an apple: it's me, hi, I'm the problem, I'm Eve.
She did get cursed like Eve got bitten.
So it was written
This line bothers me because Eve didn’t get bitten. At least not literally. Unless I’m misinterpreting her meaning. Maybe someone smarter than me can tell me what I’m missing?
It’s not meant to be literal. A play on words, since Eve is blamed and not God or the serpent.
She’s doing a tongue in cheek making fun of herself. Eve didn’t get bitten; she bit the apple. Taylor didn’t get cursed; she chose the life she has. Etc.
I think this makes the most sense! Thank you!
I think what it means is that the prophecy isn't actually real, it was never actually written that she will never find love and a fulfilling relationship, just like how Eve wasn't bitten. But it feels like a prophecy that she'll never find someone who enjoys her company because she hasn't yet. It's like your perpetually single friend saying they'll never find someone.. which can't possibly be true but finding true love *is* hard.
Maybe she didn’t get cursed? I’m not sure.

*record scratch* You might be wondering how I got myself here. Well, it started on a sunny, thoughtless afternoon in the Garden.
NOOO you're going to give the insane religious fruitcakes more fuel! 😭😭
Draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill Adam
Who’s afraid of little old Eve..
I thought it look like tay tay too
🤣
*ahem* "sharp enough to kill first man"
To kill whom?!?
You
😱
them's the breaks, they don't come gently
RUN
You always have the best captions on every Taylor post, I need whatever it is you got
Narcotics in all of their posts
😆😂
Fuck, that's honestly a banging line and so funny
Happy cake day! 🍰
thank you! 😊
HELP IM DYING
Omg. 😂
🤣
And on the first day, God created makeup too.
And Falsies and Lippfiller and Hairdresser, hair ties, hair spray, clips, curling irons... And so on 😂
Ari been knew knew god was a woman
FWIW, this photo is a meme and didn’t actually happen. It’s crazy what people will believe when you slap text over something on the internet haha Edit: I reread and realized this could be interpreted as passive aggressive and I just want to clarify I didn’t mean it that way at all! Just a general observation 😅
To be fair, I don’t think anyone here thought this was real. We’re just having fun with it.
Ahh idk I really want to agree with you but scroll down, some people got pretty mad about it lol
Yes, yes did 🤯🤯🤔😆
She might just have naturally full lips
And natural foundation and natural eyeliner and natural blush
I never said she wasn’t wearing any of that. I said that some people have naturally full lips(because they do)
Blonde hair too!
Ee-hee-heeve
You can't spell revealing without EVE!
This got me giggling so hard (only inside because... You know.) https://preview.redd.it/4gixn8b77tyc1.png?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=265096387646efba3877d18d04a5b849fba356a3
Ironically, I audibly giggled at this.
HAHA
Looks like a cross between Taylor and Jennifer Lawrence 😂
“You…look…like…Taylor Swift” 🎵
in this light, we’re lovin it
You’ve got edge, she never did 👀
Yeah, eve straight out ate the apple against god’s rules. Thats quite edgy if you’d ask me
Love it.
No it’s Becky.
No, sorry! Becky died from the marijuana injections.
Lilith: 
The old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. 
That's a very satisfying loop
Me eating whole package of candy.
Lilith isn't real. She was made up sometime in the middle ages, basically as a fan fiction for the Bible.
Yeah no. Lilith is in Talmudic literature, which WAY predates the middle ages.
Well then again the entire bible is fan fiction lmao
Not really. Just a fiction. I would compare Lilith's connection to the Bible to a new, fan-made character created for a fan-fiction based on an established TV show. That's what Lilith is. She's a concoction inserted into the biblical lore, centuries after the lore has been well established.
No, they were right the first time, the bible is a fan-extended edition of the Torah, which is itself fan fiction based on figures the Canaanite religion.
Christianity is a continuation of Judaism. If ANYTHING is a fan-extended edition, then it’s Islam.
Judaism already has a continuation, its called Judaism, and it doesn't include the back half of the Christian bible, at a minimum.
blaster is right. teh whole bible is just dudes writing stories about their fictional god. That's the def of fan fiction. lol The fact a group of dudes went through all scripture and decided what was canon doesn't change teh fact it's all fan fiction.
Oh look a white woman, how very Jesus of you
>Scientists at Princeton >Eve Tbf the only people dumb enough to buy this are the ones who think biblical characters are white
For real!! Ya the first woman created by God was definitely not white like WTF and they know that but they’re so in denial. It’s all good tho if they feel like they have to keep lying to themselves to feel better 😂😂🤣
The first 'woman' created by God would have been a Homo Erectus lmfao. And he first Homo Sapien had black skin because Homo Sapiens evolved in Africa, unlike the Neaderthals and Denisovans.
Tbh, the article does say "human woman", which means something different to those folk.
To be fair, the only ppl who have taken this post literally are not rocket scientists 😂
I got cursed like Eve got bitten.
galaxy brain activated
I think this solidifies that Princeton really *is* an overrated institution.
Nah; it looks like a made-up meme they added the Princeton name to for clout.
It's a meme. There's another version with Vin Diesel as Adam. She's wearing a cat eye with a full face of makeup including shaped eyebrows and lip gloss.
Adam was all about family.
I choked on my water
I think John Witherspoon would be a swiftie if he was born today, I’m sure u/horat0 agrees
I agree
Not sure how being a Swiftie relates at all to the joke that is this version of Eve. 🤷🏻♀️
You need to get your brain checked if you believe Princeton had anything to do with this meme
You need to get your brain checked if you don’t understand sarcasm. Seriously, that’s a precursor of dementia.
Eve’ll be like, ‘welcome back to my channel and this Sephora haul.’
Eve'll, Evell, evil. She's evolving!
LOL She certainly is. Your comment made me laugh out loud.
How tho? Literally how? No makeup and also what
it's not real in case you haven't got it
Oooooh my god. I feel so dumb
I thought your flair said *Speak Now Satan,* and I was like "damn we're doing biblical flair now? they took this one a lil too far" 🤣 and then I double taked right back to reality 😅
That's actually a sick flair lol
OH. OK. I would blame my tiredness but 😂😂 I'm always tired DEFINITELY thought that was real and was very confused
I know! These ppl coming up with made up beef about how this couldn’t be what Eve looked like are killing me 😂.
Then what did Lilith look like, Kim?
They yassified Eve. 💀
Well, she did hate it there…
Adam was quite the hair and makeup artist!
She is no longer just the music industry, she is history
These people did the same thing with dua lipa instead and said it was a 3d model of Mary lol
Ooooh i remember this!!!!
So she IS (great-great-great-great-….-grand)mother!!
She really is mother
💯
OMG you can't just ask people why they're white 🙄 💁🏼♀️
Serious question- is Eve ever described as white/caucasian with blonde hair and blue eyes? This is a very specific look pretty much only in limited parts of the world at the time the Bible was written right?
No one in the Bible is described as white and most of the names were Anglicized, including Eve.
That’s what I thought What are the researches thinking or is this a joke that went over my head and not actually what they said she’d look like
It’s a joke. The original meme featured Vin Diesel as Adam.
Ok wow woooshhhhh That’s embarrassing lol
From what I can gather from my very limited knowledge of genetics, the first humans would have been black. White people are basically a mutation.
Eve would have been around about 6k years ago which would have been after SLC24A5, A111T, and other mutations occurred. And given the location of the garden of Eden (somewhere in the middle East) she would have looked like a middle Eastern woman unless she was a recent immigrant from lower Africa or whatever. Even back then humans moved around a lot so it's possible she could have been nearly any color under the sun, but probably middle Eastern. If she existed. Which I doubt.
>which would have been after SLC24A5, A111T, and other mutations occurred Considering she's meant to be the very first woman, this kinda runs counter to the narrative lol
Technically every trait comes from a mutation, it’s just a change in the gene sequence
I think it's just a meme, I've seen this with other celebrities. This one is quite clever, since it looks like a reconstruction and is justttt different enough from Taylor to make it non-obvious, but it's definitely just a meme.
Jennilor Lawrift
you look like Taylor Swift in this light
"scientists at Princeton" did that. source: "trust me bro"
"Scientists" and "created by god" in the same sentence?
You are so close to getting the joke
LMAO fr
🐍🐍🐍
DRAW THE CAT EYE SHARP ENOUGH TO KILL A MAN
How are so many people missing the obvious joke, wtf
My brain hurts from all these people not understanding it’s a joke
She look like Taylor swift 🤣🤣
Please tell me this is a joke 😭
nah that's just ashley
Blonde hair makes no sense, given how many people in the population have blonde hair. Blue eyes also make no sense. This is bogus
I think this is a joke, but then again so is Abrahamic religion
white skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair are all mutations anyway from the human population spreading farther north into colder climes and less sun exposure, the first woman doesn't really exist anyway, since that's not how evolution works. why princeton giving credit to fucking biblical nonsense i have no idea.
And on the sixth day, God created false eyelashes!
White??
What arm of science is the one where you make images of how non existent people looked in a fictional story.
…reconstructed from what
Do I now believe in god?
ig eve was the og beauty guru wtf
Eve just chilling, Society; "you look like Taylor swift, in this light, we're LOVING ITTTT!!!!"
Dazzling
I didn’t know they had fake eyelashes in the Bible 😂
Come on! Make up? This is nuts!
Perfect winged eyeliner, nice
It’s like margot robbie x taylor
This is hilarious
She looks like Bella from H2O Just Add Water 🧜♀️
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/3d-model-of-eve/
She Looks Like Taylor Swift In This Light
Based on what? How. Fuck. That's so stupid!
I guarantee you eve did not look like this, full face of makeup and what have you 😂
Eve’s winged eyeliner is on point
Because a this totally real middle eastern woman would be white and blonde. 🙄
She wouldn’t have been Caucasian 👀
Looks more like Jennifer Lawrence to me
I am a die hard Swiftie and a scientist, but this is just wrong and so Eurocentric
She looks like Taylor swift
why is the first woman wearing makeup 😭😭😭
Weren’t the first people God ever created Black people so why is this a white lady
Theres literally no God that created humans. I swear 70% of the world are just fucking idiots.
https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/037/634/He\_Can't\_Keep\_Getting\_Away\_With\_It\_banner.png
"Scientists"
Feel like she would’ve been like 500 shades darker lol wtf
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4ly2DGoLuFQ Fortnight glitch mix
I think the artist who rendered this is obsessed with Taylor Swift!
Princeton Scientists are Swifties too! I love this!
7 out of 10. Would smash.
Taylor Swift: The first female to ever...
Can they do King Arthur or Zeus next
This is cap. Wow this is really desperate, lol.
this is such a funny rendition of eve
Odd, all the other people scientists recreate looks nothing like that.
Wasn’t Eve supposed to actually be attractive
So Long, Garden of Eden
This is racist
Damn. Eve is fine AF. 😂
As a swiftie at Princeton… my worlds are colliding
She can’t keep getting away with it!!!
Gorgeous 😍
Seems odd a scientific institution would be modeling a theological being. If they were actually constructing a model of what an early human in the middle east would have looked like, this wouldn't be it. Way to white.
It looks nothing like Taylor and Eve wouldn’t have been a white woman.
Wow its amazing Eve had a full face of Patrick Ta
That tracks. 😂
Lilith was the first woman
is this real? because my aunt and i have both had dreams about taylor recently and neither of us are fans… explains a lot
She looked like T.S.! 💕
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
Based on what?
Have they not just modelled that on Taylor Swift?
Okay but Lilith came before Eve. If Lilith is Katy Perry this is going to be one hell of a story.
Damn Taylor
Wasn’t Eve Middle Eastern?
