Why was Adam and Eve thrown out of Eden?

[tz620q]

I once asked a non-denom friend why a perfect God could create imperfect beings. I liked his response that they were created perfect but chose through their own free will to sin and therefore chose their own imperfections. My question is why were Adam and Eve thrown out of Eden? I can see two possibilities:

Option A. Because of their disobedience

Option B. Because God can only have close communion with perfected beings and therefore Adam and Eve lost that communion when they sinned.

I see Option A as being the process, not the result. Option B seems to be supported by our needing to be perfected before entering full communion with God. Any thoughts.

So they could not eat from the tree of life?

Ahh. Thank you. I reread Genesis Chapter 3 and found the part about the tree of life.
