This is not meant as a religious debate, so if that's all you have to comment on, don't comment.
This is a question I am supposed to survey other's about for a early civilization class.

sir readalot, I didn't give you a thumbs down, but I will and I will also report you for putting filth on my question. I was considering you as one of the better answers until you showed your true colors. You can't be so rude to others, they were just sharing their opinions too.

The Fall of Mankind from faith in God. If it is simply a myth then its values are unimportant and we should leave them to the insane whims of the post-modernist who will interpret them and 1000 differing and diametrically opposed ways and we will all just pretend that we are all right.
However, if the Fall was a historic event (I think it was.) Than its implications are profound and eternally course altering. For its truth brings with it eternal damnation to all mankind and only one chance (While we physically are alive.) to extricate our soul(s) from the eternal fire of a literal Hell by place our individual trust in Jesus as Messiah and savior who died for the redemption of our eternal estate. Ask a Christian about what it means to be saved form ones sin(s).

The genesis story to me repeats an adult's observation of a child growing up to adulthood. The beginning is innocence. But it is our nature to grow up and explore - even temptation and doing so without prudence can lead to Pandora's box. The result is knowledge of good & evil.
The story was probably often told by men - who naturally would blame the sexual appeal of women for their fall from paradise (ie having to work for a living). I'd bet if a woman had told the story it would have been the man's fault.

You are assuming that a people of a culture in the past make up the creation story. Now you want to know that people, culture and time. Well, just make it up. That's science.
