Did God lie, and Satan tell the truth?

In the Adam and Eve story, God told Adam not to eat from the forbidden tree "Lest you die that same day". Satan (the serpent) tells Eve that they will not die, but become knowledgeable and be able to distinguish good from evil. Adam and Eve didn't die that day but they did become knowledgeable of their nakedness. Can we get some perspective on the supposedly infallible "Word of God"?

Many of the things written in the bible are mostly parables and hidden meanings. This is what actually happened more than 200,000 years ago: A being called Lucifer,a minor sector sovereign rebelled against the Eternal Father. A group of ten habitable planets is called a system, then a group of ten systems composed of one minor sector which Lucifer is the administrator. He was one of the most intelligent and brilliant of his kind. Satan his subordinate, the head and administrator of our system of planets called Satania which earth belongs to went with Lucifer. During this time our planet has ruler or planetary prince called Caligastia. He also went with Lucifer. It was also during this time that the celestial government decided to improve the gene pool of the local human species to accelerate its development. So the celestial government sent a couple, a physically perfect man and woman called Adam Cadmon and Eve from a highly advanced planet. They were to bare children that would later intermarry with local human species. They were also instructed to wait and hold off the mission until some designated representatives of celestial govt arrives to oversee the whole program. Caligastia under the command of Lucifer decided to screw the whole thing. So Caligastia persuaded Eve to go ahead and mate with one of planetary male council members. The planetary council members are not human but celestial semi spiritual beings called Nodites, some kind of a fairy or elf if you will. This affair was forbidden. Eve bore a son, and she called him Cain, a very handsome, persuasive, rebellious and intelligent man. When Adam knew of this tryst he too decided to mate with one of the female planetary council members. They too had a child called Abel. Cain sided with Caligastia and instigated the whole planetary council and the local human population to go with the rebellion. There was a very nasty war. Adam and Eve defaulted from their original mission and went back to their home planet.

While I do believe in God, I have some misgivings about stories or at least details of stories in the Bible. I don't believe God lies. I do believe man lies, distorts the truth for his own gain. I believe there are many thigs in the Bible that is distorted or made up all together in order to make the common man submissive to man made authorities. This may be one of those instances.

That's easy. You're misquoting it. It reads, "You will surely die" not "You will die this day".
