Adam and eve are our archetypal first humans touched by God. The first Shaman or prophet for God.
This was happening on all continents. Notice that often God is not given a name.
God is universal. He speaks to some few only.
The Bible is a teaching tool. It tries to tell us all that the ancients knew of God. They gathered other myths and legends and tried to give the knowledge of the then known world.
Within its pages we find the tree of good and evil. It give us not only Christ but the Antichrist. It asks us to dither out who is speaking and when. Christ or the Antichrist.
One example of the Antichrist is
Exodus 31-15
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Certainly not what Christ would say and obviously not a practice any sane God would do.
Eve of course made the right choice in escaping the garden of ignorance. Without Her we would have no history. Knowledge of good and evil are a necessary ingredient for mans good health and this way, man is intelligent enough to know why he follows God.
No robots for God.
The absolute worst way to read the Bible is literally.
There are no talking snakes in reality.
