Adam and Eve is actually a story about two cultures of people. Everyone was happy living with the fact that they were a part of Nature and that they lived by Nature’s rules. They fully depended on Nature, because they felt themselves part of Nature. They thought that who lived and who died, what food they had etc etc was up to Nature, much like tribal peoples in Australia, South America and Native Americans etc. These people “leave” Nature to do its stuff.
Over a period of some tens-of-thousands-of-years, one of these cultures began to discover agriculture – the agricultural revolution. They produced more food than they needed, so their population grew and grew. This gave them power through numbers, and they thought they had all the answers and that they didn’t need Nature, and even thought that others should live like them. Sometimes they did this forcibly. These people “take” more than they need from the planet. This is our culture.
So the story in the Bible/Koran/Torah is about Adam (a “Leaver”), who was happy to be a subject of God [Nature], and Eve (a “Taker”) who tempted Adam by saying, “look at all this food, isn’t it great? If you eat this, we can forget about God [Nature], and do things ourselves”.
And so the general decline of humankind began because they thought they can forget about God/Nature and do things their own way.
