Hmm... That's very interesting that you bring that up! See, the way I interpreted the Adam and Eve thing is the Bible is like this: God wanted humans to be able to be nude infrong of eachother; being completely innocent it wouldn't matter to them or make them think "naughty" thoughts. But when they ate the apple they suddenly were like... infected with human sins and were ashamed of their nakedness, realizing the sexual meaning it had. So when God found out how tainted they had became he threw em outta Eden and that was that.

Of course, that's just my interpretation, so please don't get offended or anything. I've had major interesting discussions about this with my priest during my confirmation study times (no clue if that's the proper English name for it) and he kept emphazising that the reason God threw them out of Eden were because they disobeyed his order of not eating the fruit. I on the other would like to view it from the point of view I wrote above; wanting to see him as a forgiving god that wouldn't care if his beloved creation didn't obey him blindly.

Again, this is just my take on it all, so I hope no one will get offended
