Then you’ll know that this clip from Year One, an exclusive at Crackle, isn’t really a depiction of how Cain killed Abel. (Guilty giggles are strictly between you and God.)

Meanwhile, check out the official website of the film, which will also include appearances by Adam, Eve, Abraham, Isaac, Seth, and “Sodom Officer Rick.” (Gold star if you can guess which one’s fictional.)

Year One hits theaters June 19.
