Adam breaks away and falls from grace

The slow but insidious, drip by drip of continious invitations and coaxing, to enjoy ever new pursuits and adventures and join in the rebellion eventually effected the human couples morale to the point that Eve coerced her partner into joining her in breaking their allegience to Jehovah.

"The guardian Cherub promised, absolutely that we wont die, like the animals, she argued. Just as they themselves havent died, or been struck down by some debilitating illness, so why should we hold out, to stay as we are here. Weve got nothing to lose. Come on Adam, this may be our only chance".

The very next day, they waited till dusk, before they stealthly sneaked through the stalky open ground to the special tree and furtively ate the fruit.
They knew imediately and instinctively that something elemental had occurred the moment they had swallowed the fruit. They had known the time of good, but now a sudden awareness of what they had done was wrong, passed through them, and they now knew, for the first time and for the rest of their lives, the knowledge of evil. A new frightening sense of darkness and of separation from their creator.
It was a feeling, they and their rebellious angelic hosts desperately tried to cover over with the euphoria of being independent, self aware and self justifying, but this thin veneer didnt fully block out the loss.
