Adam wasn't kicked out of heaven; he was banished from the Garden of Eden on Earth by God for disobeying a direct command to not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, an act of disobedience that introduced sin, shame, and mortality into the world, preventing humanity from living forever in a fallen state.
Adam and Eve's Separation from God
Because Adam and Eve had eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the Lord sent them out of the Garden of Eden into the world. Their physical condition changed as a result of their eating the forbidden fruit. As God had promised, they became mortal.
After Adam sinned by eating from the forbidden tree (Tree of Immortality) after God forbade him from doing so, paradise was declined to him and he was sent down to live on Earth.
In Covenant theology, the first man, Adam, is said to have failed to fulfill the commandment to life and the Covenant of Works, which is summarized in Genesis 2:15–17. In verse 15, humanity is to "dress" and "keep" the Garden of Eden (KJV), or to "work it" and "take care of it" (NIV).
The person killed by God for not impregnating (specifically, for refusing to fulfill his duty to provide offspring for his deceased brother's wife) was Onan, a figure from the Old Testament (Genesis 38). God put him to death because Onan practiced withdrawal (spilling his seed on the ground) to prevent his sister-in-law, Tamar, from conceiving, which was considered wicked in the Lord's sight.
John was banished by the Roman authorities to the Greek island of Patmos, where, according to tradition, he wrote the Book of Revelation.

According to midrashic literature, Adam's first wife was not Eve but a woman named Lilith, who was created in the first Genesis account. Only when Lilith rebelled and abandoned Adam did God create Eve, in the second account, as a replacement.
It is still possible to ask: why did God not forgive Adam and Eve right away? It was impossible for God to forgive in the sense of 'let's forget about and continue like nothing happened'. They had lost their holiness and had become sinners.
God, by definition, transcends the rules of time and space, existing outside the framework of creation. This means He doesn't need a beginning because He exists in a reality beyond our own.
Eve wasn't punished harder. Her punishment was pain in bringing forth children, Adams was that he had to work until he died. Both are pretty awful punishments. Their punishments are also symbolic as well.
1 Six days after Adam's death, Eve knew her own death was near, so she gathered together all her sons and daughters, who were Seth along with his thirty brothers and thirty sisters. Eve said to them all: 2 'Hear me, my children, that I might recount for you how I and your father transgressed the precept of God.

God didn't want Adam and Eve to sin in the sense that he took pleasure in it, but he did allow it according to his sovereign purposes. But he also purposed to bring about redemption through it.
🔵 It is true that, chronologically, Eve sinned before Adam. She was tempted, picked the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and ate. After that, she gave the fruit to her husband, and he ate (Genesis 3:1–6). Yet the Bible places the blame on Adam as the one responsible for the fall of mankind.

God had company, and I'm not talking about the other members of the Trinity. The biblical answer is that the heavenly host was with God before creation.
Elon Musk's beliefs have evolved; while previously skeptical, he recently stated he believes "God is the Creator" and the universe came from "something," though he avoids strict religious labels, identifying more as a "cultural Christian" who values Christian principles for boosting happiness and birth rates, rather than subscribing to all traditional doctrines. He acknowledges a higher power but distinguishes this from a judging, moralistic deity, focusing on the creative origin of the cosmos.

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
Having been forbidden by God to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen 2:17–18), Adam ate the fruit and fell into sin (Gen 3:6). Sin therefore did not originate in the human nature as God made it but resulted when Adam was tempted by the evil serpent through his wife.
