The Fall

Name: The Fall

The Fall is the biblical account of Adam and Eve's disobedience in eating fruit from the one tree God had forbidden, after the serpent convinced Eve it would make them like God. It results in their expulsion from Eden and, in later Christian theology, is understood as the origin of sin and death in the human race (Genesis 3).
