Dr. Lim's Kid's Bible Challenge Games

I have no reason to doubt Dan Lim's faith or sincerity, but trivia games usually have a team of researchers and/or consultants (for good reason) and I have my doubts that any games in the Dr. Lim series had any such team. Players are cautioned that many questions and answers seem to be opinion based rather than questions and answers about facts (ie: Questions beginning with "Who was the most important", are, with extremely rare exceptions, asked and answered based on subjectivity). Even accounting for subjectivity, some questions lack an essential common frame of reference by which to answer properly. (ie: The number of books in the Old Testament has many correct answers depending on a Catholic, Protestant, Reformationist, Papist, Coptic, or other frame of reference. Myself, I speak as a Protestant, knowing there is _currently_ 39 and equally knowing that 39 is incorrect to many non-Protestants). And some answers are in fact, non-factual.

This game in the series contains a particularly troublesome and common problem. It asks many questions about "Adam & Eve" and offers no strictly correct answers. Especially problematic, the game continually offers Genesis 3:3 as a hint. Genesis 3:3 consists of Satan's misleading question to Eve, Eve's errant response, and Adam is not part of the conversation (so should not be included in the questions as phrased).
