i allways find it entertaining to see how people struggle with the concept of adam and eve. It is a poetic description of puberty, the rejection of the authority over the self following the eating from the tree of realisation of the self. However, to be a self separated from the eternal God makes you mortal as a logical consequence of that separation from the immaterial eternity. If you eat from that tree you will surely die is the same as me telling my son that if he touches the high voltage cable he will surely die. It is not a threat as than I would say if you touch the cable I will surely let you die but stating the obvious. That you discover your nakedness as a consequence of your self realisation is the desire to control your private parts e.g. creative power.
So Adam and Eve can be seen as the level of puberty on a grander scale of the puberty of life forms that reject the authority over their self thus being in conflict with the greater self. However, growing up is the process of giving up that self again for the love of thy neighbour. After all, that is what evolution is all about
