And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

1) So which is it: (a) was Eve Adam's mother or (b) was Adam not living?
2) Where do you get the notion that A & E ate of the tree of life before sin? It looks to me as if God's (or "the gods'": "Let us...") stated purpose in driving them out of the garden:And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
3) Potassium-argon and carbon-14 dating doesn't tell us life span, it tells us (presumably, roughly) how long ago.
4) What do you think the "paradise" that souls of dead sons of Adam go to is? Is it heaven? Is it the garden of Eden? Is it some other place? Or is it a condition, not a place? Or what.
