Eternal Life and the Tree of Knowledge
The theological discussion around Adam and Eve centers on the concept of eternal life and the choices they made regarding the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God only forbid eating from the tree of knowledge, not the tree of life. Consumption of the tree of life would have granted eternal life, but once they ate from the tree of knowledge, eternal life was no longer an option. This led to their expulsion from the Garden of Eden, signifying the entry of mortality into the world.
