The 4th of July is Independence Day in America. It commemorates her independence from Great Britain in 1776. Today, 238 years after the declaration of independence, the United States' closest ally across the Atlantic is the United Kingdom.
I do not know which was the day our first parents desired independence from their Creator by biting into the Forbidden Apple. It was a long time ago and nobody cares to commemorate that singular momentous life-changing event.
Finding a parallel between Independence Day in America and Adam and Eve's Original Sin requires stretching the imagination. When it is stretched, one can see to a degree the on-going relationship between the US and the UK is similar to the one between God and man in that the connection between them respectively has never severed, and can never be severed for man came from God and the US came from the UK.
