Fall of man

The Fall of Man, according to many major religious faiths, is a tragic event whereby the earliest ancestors of humanity - shortly after the divine Creator brought them into being - departed from their original status or purpose and became beings with the dual nature of goodness and evil.

In the Christian tradition, the fall is often seen as a consequence of the disobedience of Adam and Eve, as recounted in Genesis, chapters 2 and 3.

The Unification Church teaches that the human fall has a sexual element, wherein Adam and Eve began a conjugal relationship before getting permission from God to marry. Eve tempted Adam, after having first been seduced by the archangel Lucifer.
