I'd be happy to Lou, but as I said it's been a while since I read the book. I'd rather wait until I read it again so that I don't misrepresent what the author said or mix it in with my own ideas. But I think the general idea was that in choosing to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, that humankind made the choice to be fully human with all the pains and joys associated with that rather than remain as a dependent child in relation to the Father.
But I do need to read it again, because I might not have that exactly right.
