Are Adam and Eve in hell?

The apple was the knowledge of procreation - they hid because they "knew" they were naked and became "clothed" to hide their shame. Eve was pregnant... A couple of pets is fine, but God didn't want his Garden over run with rabbits, especially long lived rabbits.
The Sumero/Akkadian version(s) of the Flood claim Enlil was angry with the growing number of people and wanted to keep an impending natural disaster secret but the Serpent God (Ea/Enki) told the Sumerian Noah how to survive. It would be very interesting to see what bottlenecks occurred within the last 100-150 kya, but I believe the Flood story(s) come from various peoples' encounters with rising seas and post ice age flooding. A Tlingit legend places the Flood 14,000 years ago, that may have been when the Bering land bridge disappeared from sight.
Hell is the hebrew sheol I believe, meaning the grave. Our versions of hell look more like Greek/Eastern mysticism than Judaism. There is a peculiar description of a journey to "Hell" in Dante's Inferno, the imagery is celestial and as one approaches "Hell" from Heaven they come upon the Red River and its 2 guards. Sounds like Mars, the planets were commonly referred to as sheep, rivers, waters, wanderers, etc.

man's creation varies depending on the culture but many have an original couple. The Sumerian version says we were created to be slaves for the gods and that 7 (or up to 14) goddesses were used for the purpose of mixing the blood of the gods with a primitive creature walking the plains of the Enki's home range. The Zulu have a myth about our distant origins, they believe their ancestors were "the artificial ones" created by the gods and were told to battle the apemen when the war star rose in the sky. Some weird stuff in those legends.
