Adam and Eve as the well known story goes were the first two humans who fell from grace by biting into the apple of knowledge and for doing so they got forced out the Garden of Eden In proposing this story its just a metaphor for two spiritual beings as we all are living in the imprisoned yet entirely false belief jungles of time and space Yes, the apple was tempting of course but it seemed real even though they knew better you see this awareness being a symbol by God warning warning them not to eat the apple biting into the apple was admission of guilt to buying into knowledge giving the world revealed by the physical senses the law all over the world signified a tipping point from which they no longer understood the world around them as illusionary but really I mean who r-e-a-l-l-y would bite into an illusion? From then on their behavior would be guided by the illusions of time and space as by their physical senses The moral of the story of the Fall is about us forgetting the truth concerning the very importantance of what is real and as a result of this forgetting how to plan and follow instructions of our lives through space and time from this time on the expression  the truth shall set you free as in free from illusions and back to domination over power of the people who could be COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THEIR OWN UNIVERSE AS THEY REDISCOVER THEIR POWER AND ONENESS WITH GOD  (BLibrestez55 (discuss • contribs) 20:03, 30 April 2017 (UTC))

REFERENCES: Retrieved:Adam and Eve (Wikibooks) The Fall of Man by Peter Paul Rubens Adam and Eve, according to the creation myth of the Abrahamic religions,[1][2][3][4][5] were the first man and woman and the ancestors of all humans.[6] The story of Adam and Eve is central to the belief that God created human beings in a Garden of Eden, although they fell away from that state into the present world full of death, evil, pain and suffering. It provides the basis for the belief that humanity is in essence a single family, with everyone descended from a single pair of original ancestors.[7] It also provides much of the scriptural basis for the doctrines of the fall of man and original sin that are important beliefs in Christianity, but which are not generally held in Judaism or Islam.[8]

In the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, chapters one through five, there are two creation narratives with two distinct perspectives. In the first, Adam and Eve are not mentioned (at least not mentioned by name). Instead, God created humankind in God's image and instructed them to multiply and to be stewards over everything else that God had made. In the second narrative, God fashions Adam from dust and places him in the Garden of Eden. Adam is told that he can till the ground and eat freely of all the trees in the garden, except for a tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Subsequently, Eve is created from one of Adam's ribs to be Adam's companion. They are innocent and unashamed about their nakedness. However, a serpent deceives Eve into eating fruit from the forbidden tree, and she gives some of the fruit to Adam. These acts give them additional knowledge, but it gives them the ability to conjure negative and destructive concepts such as shame and evil. God later curses the serpent and the ground. God prophetically tells the woman and the man what will be the consequences of their sin of disobeying God. Then he banishes them from the Garden of Eden.

The story underwent extensive elaboration in later Abrahamic traditions, and it has been extensively analyzed by modern biblical scholars. Interpretations and beliefs regarding Adam and Eve and the story revolving around them vary across religions and sects; for example, the Islamic version of the story holds that Adam and Eve were equally responsible for their sins of hubris, instead of Eve being the first one to be unfaithful. The story of Adam and Eve is often depicted in art, and it has had an important influence in literature and poetry. The story of the fall of Adam is often understood to be an allegory.

There is no physical evidence that Adam and Eve ever literally existed, and their literal existence is incompatible with human evolutionary genetics. However, there is in some countries a large discrepancy between the scientific consensus and popular opinion; a 2014 poll reports that 56% of Americans believe that "Adam and Eve were real people", and 44% believe so with strong or absolute certainty.[9]
