I have no belief in what we were supposed to be other than to follow our genetic heritage and be humans. I'm sorry, your question confuses me.

Eve ate fruit she was explicitly told not to, scuppering God's idea of Eden thus causing 'him' to expel his creations and close the garden.
The entire population of the Earth devolved into 'sin' to the extent that God regretted ever creating them in the first place, causing 'him' to commit genocide on a global scale with the special exception of the world's greatest menagerie and a control group of chosen élite. Immediately after the atrocity, God's representative of the best of the human race got completely out of his head on homebrew and may or may not have indulged in a particularly juicy bit of Ham (but that's another story).
In fact let's forget the book altogether for the moment. Every prayer, every curse, every petition for divine intervention is an attempt to rewire God's plan in favour of the petitioner or against his enemies.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
