Adam
And Eve Story
The
story of Adam and Eve
is part of the Biblical
mythology
of Original Sin. Christians,
Muslims
and Jews
are all 'people of the book' who take as holy the stories of the
Hebrew era. In this story, the existence of death and suffering
are attributed to the 'sin'
of eating from the 'tree
of knowledge'. Before this event, there was no death of suffering.
Adam and Eve
were innocent, and obeyed a serpent that told them to eat from
the tree. Apparently, they obeyed the wrong being, because God's
punishment was to inflict death and suffering upon them and all
their ancestors, including such niceties as making childbirth
painful for women.
