Adam and Eve
King James Bible: Genesis

How did Adam know what a mother or father was? After reading about them eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, I have come up with my story idea. The story will start out the same. Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden created by God. There will be some differences once they're banished, however. The simulation will end. The couple will come back to reality. The couple thought they wouldn't fall for the same trap as Adam and Eve, but they come to find that sin was unavoidable for man. Or is it that the simulation doesn't allow an alternative?
The Ideal Man et cetera

I liked all the details provided about Adam. Particularly his wisdom and how involved he and God were in the creation of the world. My dad was recently telling me about a vision a Catholic saint had about Adam and Eve. Some of this story is similar. I watched a history channel special about Lilith once. I wonder if this story is where it comes from. Of course it seems these stories are based on Jewish legends. I have always understood the serpent to be Satan himself. Maybe this story implies the Serpent was only influenced by Satan. The description reminds me of a dragon.
"The first will be last, and the last will be first" fits in with what has dominion in this story. Humans were created last, and yet they are given charge of all that comes before it. The serpent deceived Eve and put discord between her and Adam. Her temptation came in waves and self-deception. Just a looksie. The Fall of Man and The Punishment were particularly interesting.
