There will be animosity between you and the women and between your off spring and hers; he will strike at your head and you will strike at the heal" (ch. 3 line 14-15). God then turned to the women and said, " I will greatly increase your pangs in child bearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you" (ch. 3 line 16). Finally God turned his attention to the Adam and said " Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you not to eat, cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; you are dust, and to dust you shall return" (ch. 3 line 17-19).

They gave us free will, which is the power of making free choices that are unconstrained by external circumstances or by an agency such as fate or divine will. This concept of free will is something that is very near and dear to tons of Americans today. Nothing actually comes free now a days, free will came to Adam and Eve at a cost, the cost was eternal life with God and eventually death will overtake us. Freedom is so important to today that we are willing to pay the ultimate price of death to keep it. .
