Scientific and historical accuracy sites not ever the picture. It cannot get its own story straight, history not withstanding. Paul disagrees with Jesus. Adam is supposed to due when eating the fruit, and then goes on to live a ridiculous life of 930 years. God changes his mind, but doesn't change his mind.
'The underlying message' you're talking about is so vague and devoid of meaning, it has barely anything to do with the bible.
