You don't understand because I am interpreting genesis allegorically, the way
the Kabbalists suggest it be interpreted. You are assuming corporeal death.
I cannot tell you that my way is the appropriate way to interpret genesis.
but I can tell you it is the way all the mystics of all the major religions
interpret it.
It is impossible for evolution to have occurred and physical death not to
have occurred before man. I have to take that as a given. Perhaps you don't. When
Adam ate the apple and gained a free will unbound to the will of God, he
"died" to God. To live in God again he must get his self out of way, die to
"himself." The self dies so God may live. This is the death I believe is spoken of
in genesis.
