6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden (Genesis 3:6-8).
There are several telling points here. Eve used human reason over and above the words of God. Sure what she thought made sense and may even have had aspects of truth but it ignored the fact that God knew the whole truth. Also, notice the result of disobedience initially was shame followed by Adam and Eve hiding from God. Prior to this event, it was evidently common for God to walk with Adam and Eve. This would never be the case again. Lost was both innocence and closeness to God.
