Bible Vs. Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost is a poem by Milton based on the Book of Genesis in the Bible. Milton did not follow Genesis in its entirety. There is a lot that he added like the name "Chaos" and the whole story about how Sin and Death came to be. There is no mention of this in the Bible. It annoys me though how Milton comes up with his own ideas on how the Earth was created and how Satan is portrayed not as demonic and evil like he should be! However, I guess that was why he wrote Paradise Lost. Even though Milton's thoughts on Heaven, God, Hell, Satan, Adam and Eve, and the angels were very interesting, speaking from a Christian stand point, it kind of pissed me off because i bet a lot of people who read this without any previous understanding or knowledge of the Book of Genesis in the Bible automatically assume that this was the actual story of how the Earth came to be. If this is not the case, then Paradise Lost can also question ones own beliefs because it gets you thinking. Paradise Lost was not my favorite thing to read so whenever I hear the word God, Satan, Hell, Heaven, Adam and Eve, i think of Paradise Lost. It is like a song you cannot get out of your head.
