Does anyone know when and where milk and the first cow were discovered? Was it in the Garden of Eden? Or somewhere else?

Aussie, I start getting worried about you. You seem to keep on coming to the subject of the Garden of Eden and the whole Adam&Eve story over and over again. Why do you get so much fixed on this?

The answer doesn't exist for the following reasons: 1. The Garden, Adam and Eve didn't exist. 2. The discovery of the cow and milk(ing) happened a long ago, very long ago, when the history was not registered yet, so, there is no way to find out the exact time and place.

Because nobody is answering my question. As soon as I get the answer... I promise to never mention it again. Nobody has come up with the first cow either... It did not fall out of the sky... It must have been discovered as a primitive animal which had evolued from another even more primitive animal. I am hoping for some smart person to come along and tell me the answer.

It originated in the ancient Middle East, when goats' milk first had widespread use. Dairy cows were first brought to America from Europe in 1611. I realize this next sequence is somewhat off-topic, but I happen to live right in the middle of the largest dairy operations on earth, and they are awfully damnable places, for reasons I would rather delay describing until later when I am able to do so. I don't drink milk right now and I really didn't drink it much anyway, but I am a big cheese and butter fiend and that's just as bad. Anyway, raw milk is an astonishing health food, but pasteurization wrecks milk's nutrients and converts it into a worthless goo. I have yet to get into raw milk, but I visited a dairy farm once and a farmer offered me a glass of chilled milk that had just been obtained, and I can't tell you how wonderful that substance was!

While drinking raw milk if you happen to live next door to a dairy farm... might be alright... I think the biggest problem with it might be its storage and transportation to the city. I grew up drinking raw milk for the first 10 years of my life... as my grand-parents were getting their milk and butter from the farm next door. The farmer had very primitive machinery... and everything was done by hand. Another concern today would be about how much contamination is in the grass than those cows eat? There were very little pollution 60 years ago. I think it was only about 40 years ago that raw milk was replaced with pasteurised milk. This go hand in hand with the growing of the population demanding more milk storage, transportation over longer distances... and of course an increase in pollution.

One day, many years One day, many years after the Clinton scandal, Hillary is struck by a car and killed. Soon, Hillary finds herself at the gates of Heaven. She sees St. Peter and asks ''Can I get into heaven now?'' He says ''Soon, I have some things to take care of.'' So St. Peter leaves and Hillary looks at the scenery and sees millions of clocks lying around. Every once in a while, a clock or so would turn ahead 15 minutes. Hillary wondered why. Soon, St. Peter came back and Hillary asked ''St. Peter, What are all these clocks for?'' St Peter replies ''Each clock represents a man. Every time a man commits adultry, the clock turns ahead 15 minutes. Hillary asks ''Where's my husbands clock?'' St. Peter replies ''Oh, it's in God's office, he uses it for a fan.''

Wasn't milk discovered in a brick-like pack at God's local supermarket? He liked it and then decided to create the milk-producing animal that Adam later called 'cow' -- and no, that wasn't Eve! :D
