A:Before they ate the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, Adam and Eve were innocent and naive, no doubt living every day for the present. They knew nothing of death or the pain of childbirth, nor did they need to work for the things they needed.

Having eaten the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge, they were like gods (Genesis 3:22: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us..."), knowing all things. The only difference between them and God (or the gods) was that they must die.

The story also has a Tree of Life in the Garden, and by eating its fruit, Adam and Eve would become immortal. In Genesis 3:24, God drove out the man and placed at the entrance to the Garden of Eden, cherubim and a flaming sword to keep [block] the way of the Tree of Life. In the Genesis story, Adam and Eve were sent from the Garden and could not be allowed back for fear they would eat of the second tree.
