Is Genesis a metaphor for our lives.. humour me for a second? just a thought?

Birth is a state of total innocence and we know nothing of the outside world, during childhood we are innocent and everything generally comes naturally to us - the garden of Eden, the state of no shame. Then, when we hit puberty we become more aware of our bodies, and we feel romantic love and lust for the first time, and the world generally becomes increasingly complicated from then on. By adulthood, we know enough about the world around us that you can say we no longer only rely on our intuitive conscience, but are faced with moral dilemmas that we must give a lot of thought to, and by our old age we all face suffering of some kind. Then we go back to beginning, to innocence, to whatever you call the place that lies beyond the material world, whether it is nothing or something, we return to it; is that what they mean by the wage of sin being death?
