About	Two sculptures in one : Both on display in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Let's call them Adam & Eve. ADAM : Leighton's 1884 statue of a wrestler with a python and EVE : Terracotta bust (1875) of Eugenie Maria Wynne by Aime-Jules Dalou (born Paris 1838; died Paris 1902) It was Adam who gave Eve the name Eve. Eve lived with Adam in the Garden of Eden. However, with the Fall, the pair were removed from the garden because she was encouraged by a snake to take a fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and with the Temptation led Adam to eat of the Forbidden Fruit. Adam, Eve and the Serpent are familiar to us from childhood, yet the meaning of their story seems maddeningly elusive. For example, why did the Divine prohibit our eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil ? Did He really not want mankind to be able to distinguish right from wrong ? Still more lessons to take from photography : The Museum began acquiring photographs in 1852 and its collection is now is one of the largest and most important in the world. It holds over 500,000 images, by both classic and contemporary photographers, and illustrates a wide range of processes, techniques and subject matter. The Photography gallery focuses on the history of photography, with an annual display of around 40 outstanding photographs from the V&A's collection.

there is no judgment for those who have no choice,
and if I love one and cherish him most ,I will choose for him, and so if he wouldn't eat the apple, we would stayed heavenly creatures.
but it doesn't meant to be like that from the very beginning,he the lord have given us something from his own,the ability to choose.
So we have refused being heavenly,refused slavery,just to make our own choices.
