About This Quote

When Caine and Eve find themselves trapped in a cave, they are literally inches from being buried alive in this place, millions of miles from home or any sort of civilization, where they would never be found or mourned. He continued smile as he explained that he had made them a promise and was going to keep it. Caine is so confident in his ability to “make things work out” that he is willing to sacrifice the lives of those who would benefit most from his help. This is called hubris and is one of those sins that God hates.
