Saying that Adam in the Garden of Eden was instead Atum, a god who rose through the water on the emerging land during the creation, the ancient Egyptians failed to acknowledge what they knew from the Bible written up to that point in history, that disease and death came into the world by the sin of Adam (and Eve), so to replace the creative and healing power of Elohim, they said that Heka, the magic god, was the cause of everything, so protection to be sought in magic (heka) not Elohim.
