Genesis 3 is often referred to "The Fall" which is really a bad description. Rather, it is more of a jump. Humanity was given a specific role and title, as caretakers of a specific garden, Eden, that they never intended to leave. By accepting the idea that, perhaps, God had withheld something from them, they relinquished their authority and privelege in the Garden, thus creating effects that they did not know could exist. Their knowledge of good and evil, and ultimately their disobedience, severed intimate relations with God, and between themselves. This episode will go into more detail about why this text is so important, but also provides some explanation and alternative questions beyond the typical answers one gets in a discussion about the "the Fall".
