And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. Genesis 310-13 KJV
Adam says it wasn't me, it was the woman. The woman says it wasn't me, it was snake. This is a brilliant description of judgment.
The final move is for God to move the souls out of the centre of the brain to the right hemisphere so that they do not interfere with the tree of life.

So why did the souls start to judge? My guess is that there was one thing missing. We did not have an innate sense of self. We know we existed as a separate entity but had no idea who that entity was.
This gave rise to three questions that we cannot answer. Who am I? How did I get here? Why am I here?
Given these three unanswerable questions it was inevitable that we should judge who we are and invent religion, philosophy, race, creed, color, nationality, sexism et al in an effort to give ourselves some form of identity and make sense of it all.
But what about the multiple entities in Genesis? There is a possible explanation. Genesis is largely the Book of Enoch with the bits the Christians don't like left out. The story is the same and they have many common passages
Enoch begins with a spaceship in Earth orbit. The crew of the spaceship have the rank of Angels. The line officers have the rank of Arch-Angels and the captain has the rank of God. Above all there is the Lord of the Spirits. God uses guided evolution to create the earth.
1. Observe ye everything that takes place in the heaven, how they do not change their orbits, [and] the luminaries which are in the heaven, how they all rise and set in order each in its season, and transgress not against their appointed order. Enoch 2

Is this a spaceship in Earth Orbit? I think so (as a commentary of the text). The plural parts of Genesis makes sense when compared with Enoch.
I would recommend reading Enoch. The bit about how 200 angels are left to look after the human race while God and the spaceship go off on another mission is very exciting. The angels left behind fornicate with human women and produce giants that run amok. One warning. If you are a Christian you will probably burn in hell forever if you read it.
