None of the excuses from Adam and Eve held any water. Adam is judged fro listening to his wife when she told him to do the opposite of what God said. Because of his sin a curse was placed upon the ground, ie the ground suffered judgement because of man’s sin. In Romans 8 Paul sees the redemption of the whole of creation in Christ.
Before sin came the garden yielded its fruit easily. Now that sin had come the ground would yield fruit, but reluctantly. Man would have to work hard to get the harvest.
Man would also die. This is not just physical death, but spiritual death as well. We were meant to be eternal, but man would die.
