Why were Adam and Eve kicked out of The Garden Of Eden ?
Most people would say, they ate the apple from the tree of knowledge. Two things wrong with this answer the first being:
1. Nowhere in The Bible is it mentioned that Adam and Eve eat an apple, in-fact the fruit isn't even named at all. This is how said moment is described in Genesis 3:6
"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

2. This action was not the reason for Adam and Eves expulsion from paradise, there were two forbidden trees which are in Genesis 2:9
"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
The reason for kicking them out was so they didn't eat from the tree of life which would of made them eternal.
