The seeds that are found inside the fruits of certain plants are called seeds; These, if they are given the necessary care and are located in the environment that most favors them, can germinate, giving life to a plant of the same species. In the same way, this term refers to those things that are considered the origin or beginning of others, as a kind of root, especially when talking about feelings or immaterial objects. This word is often used as a synonym for seeds. In religion, more specifically Christian religion, the concept of foundation is adapted to a context in which it is sought to unravel the origin of good and evil.
The seeds, within the botanical field, are contained within the seeds. Normally, these are found in the deepest part of the fruit to which they gave life; examples of this are tangerines, oranges, avocados, and peaches. These can germinate, being stored in compost and providing them with a constant source of water. Over time, it will become a flat of the same species that gives rise to the fruit from which it came.
The concept present in the Christian religion can be found in the Old Testament, in the book of Genesis. Here two seeds are mentioned: the woman, the origin of life and of the Messiah himself (and, therefore, of good) and that of the serpent, as the root of evil and misfortunes that afflict man. This kind of metaphor was used for the human race to know the origin of life from a traditional Christian perspective, in addition to making a sharp distinction between good and evil, as a presence that is found everywhere.
