Ok, I will probably get some flak from everyone on this, but here is my somewhat naturalistic view on the Adam and Eve story....
First off I think adam and eve is a big time allegory, that shows the first burgeoning (A. Afer..) on the earth... They were simple, and existed in harmony with nature, because they were little more than animals themselves...
...As time went on thought they ate from the fruit of the tree of knowledge (got smarter)... and began to change and reckognize themselves as outside of the natural order. people became smarter and smarter (from eating more animal protien that they hunted) and could never truly return to their original union with nature.
...They were cast out to toil in the fields (left the forrests and jungles to walk on 2 feet in the plains) , and were punished by having painful childbirth ( human birth is painful for 2 reasons, rigid hip bones because of bipedal locomotion, and because of the size of the human brain). What are your thoughts?
