Why were Adam and Eve cast out of Eden?

The part about Adam and Eve being created mortal was correct.

I said no, on the earlier post. but I should clarify my exegesis and view. Mortal as in “man” yes, but they were created incorruptible and sin subjected them to corruption. Now I understand 1 Corinthians 15 better

CYRIL OF ALEXANDRIA. We must inquire how it is that our first father Adam transmitted to us the punishment laid on him for his transgression. He heard the words, “Earth thou art, and into earth shalt, thou return” (Gn 3:19), and the incorruptible became corruptible and bound with the chains of death. But because he begot children after falling to death’s estate, we his progeny have become corruptible, since we are born of a corruptible father.
