look at human nature...the simple fact that you would isolate the "biblical talk" between me and you...why?. All the problems in the world would be solved if we didn't choose to believe lies over truth and if we as humans objectiely analyse ourselves and our behaviour. My take on the garden of Eden is that when the bible says God created man in his own image it mean that we are the same "emotional" beings as God, it's got nothing to do with intellect...we were created in his image being that we feel like God feels...we get sad, happy, depressed, we long for approval and to have relationships with other just like God but fall short because of our human flesh which is made from the "earth or dust"...the test God put before Adam and Eve was his creations ability to "try out" what God longs for the most from us human being which is trust and worship...the fruit never literally contained juices of knowledge of good and evil it was mans ability to test what relationships man would have with God or rather a test of his nature towards God..when Even picked and gave Adam that showed God mans true nature that its his default to choose to go his own way (pride which I think you displayed in isolating this topic) instead of trusting God, which led to the original sin and the bible says God cannot exist alongside sin so he withdrew his presence from them remember that it was a choice and when man listened to Satan's interpretation over God's that how all these other "bad emotions" we're created became we chose to listen to lies over the truth from God. why worry when walking down a dark alley when God says he will always protect you, why choose to listen to that negative voice instead of the truth...it's our human nature and that's why we can't save our self and need a saviour...my point is thing are never as bad as it seems when we on the other side...align yourself or just get knowledge of what the truth says and compare the facts it helps with anxiety and depression.
