Here's the myth:
God made everything in 6 days and took a nap on the seventh. When he was making things, he did it in a peculiar order, such as day and night 2 days before the sun and moon, because he works in mysterious ways.
God created Adam. He made a big garden and told him he could do anything he wanted, just don't eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, or he would die.
Then god created Eve, from one of Adam's ribs while he slept. Eve wandered over to the tree that Adam was warned about, and a talking snake told her that they wouldn't die if they ate its fruit; they would be like gods knowing good from evil. Eve ate the fruit, and then convinced Adam to have a piece too.
The first thing that A&E did was hide, because apparently when you discover good and evil, you realize that naked is evil (or at least embarrassing). God asked why they were hiding, they told him they were naked, and god got pi$$ed. It seems that god didn't realize that the snake was in his garden, and that it would point out that he lied about them dying if they ate the fruit (if they were going to live forever, where did the tree of life come into things?).
God then turns to...well we don't know who he turns to, because all he says is ""The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." (seems to me that from this quote, that: A- there are other gods...when he says "us"; and B- that the only difference between god(s) and mankind is immortality, since we became like gods by knowing good and evil).
God made Adam and Eve clothes, told them that they had to get out of the garden, that they had to earn their keep til they died. To keep them out of the garden, god rewarded an angel by giving him a flaming sword; and then punished that same angel by making him guard the garden forever.

Adem and Eve are buck naked. Eve wonders over to a tree that GOD HIMSELF told her not to eat from, lest she DIE. But, eh, there's a talking snake, and those are persuasive little bastards.
So Eve's like, "hey this **** is awesome" and gets Adam. Adam's skeptical, but tries it anyway. All of a sudden, they realize they're naked and life sucked from then on. God was pissed.

adam and eve were lived in heaven..they were very happy in the heaven..but they are forbidded to eat fruit of the heaven.. bur eve was willing to eat the fruit so she broke the rule ate the fruit( may be it was apple).. so as punishment they are sent to earth from the heaven by God.
according to story the fruit generated the feeling of sex in them which was prohibited in heaven that's why they were sent to earth,

GOd gave adam a whole garden full of trees that he could eat off of, except for one tree ; the tree of wisdom.
when God saw adam was lonely, he created a woman for adam to love. and she told him the tree was ok to eat off of, after being tempted to by satan.
so thats why people sin now/
