God told Adam he would die that very day. Eve told the serpent they'd die immediately. None of that was true. What the serpent told them was true. They did not die and their eyes were open like God, they knew about good and evil. Both the narrator and God himself confirms this outcome. What God did to Adam and Eve during his irrational outburst is not the serpent's fault for telling the truth.



I believe this story is about events more than 200kya, its describing our departure from the animals - from which no helpmate for the man could be found. Our innocence was our ignorance. The irony in all this is calling our enlightenment a sin. We'd still be living like animals without it.
