Why were Adam and Eve cast out of Eden?

It may be worth noting that the Tree of Life in Revelation (a book saturated with references to the OT, so it could very well reflect the Genesis Tree of Life was thought of in the first century AD) is said to bear fruit continuously, on a monthly basis, and it is said that its leaves are for “the healing of the nations”. Now, that certainly isn’t inconsistent with a “eat it once, permanently gain eternal life” function, but to me it suggests that it is meant to be eaten on a continual basis.

The book of Revelation was written many centuries after Genesis, so is not pertinent to what I am discussing.
