This is an apocryphal Christian Adam-and-Eve story meant to symbolize 'values paranoia.'
Should we associate Christian omens with 'evolution failures'?
We certainly make plenty of movies about this subject (e.g., The Bonfire of the Vanities, Congo, Spawn, etc.
====
Adam and Eve were blessed human creatures sculpted by God to explore and cherish the fertile Earth. Adam and Eve were given green skin and an unusually large body size to symbolize their connection to God and fertility. Adam and Eve wandered around the various corners of planet Earth and learned about flora and fauna and the dangers of over-indulgence. They were deeply in love and realized they were 'diplomats of genesis.' Everything was going well.
God's first angel, Lucifer, started expressing misgivings about the unlimited power and authority of Adam and Eve. God kept assuring Lucifer that Adam and Eve were green-colored to remind them of their closeness to nature and the humility of creationism, so they would feel a spiritual kinship to the green trees and green grass of Earth. However, Lucifer kept insisting that Adam and Eve were power-filled and would be vulnerable to the temptations of vanity and narcissism.
One day, Lucifer brought up his grievance to a public assembly of angels, and God dismissed his claims and arguments summarily, and Lucifer stormed out in rage. Lucifer decided to rebel against the heavenly authority of God and renamed himself Satan, supreme adversary of God, humanity, and Earth. A handful of angels joined Lucifer in his cause --- those who agreed with his radical approach to genesis reorganization and political reorientation.
Satan visited Adam and Eve one day to test them in their faith and to see if he was right in his hypothesis about their vulnerability to narcissism. Satan disguised himself as a blue bird and landed on a tree next to where Eve was sitting to take a rest. Satan whispered in to Eve's ear and asked her what she thought about her green-colored skin.
SATAN: I am a simple blue-bird, but you're a beautiful green-colored woman, no?
EVE: I suppose I'm beautiful, though my green skin makes it difficult to separate me from nature.
SATAN: That's right. The tree leaves are green and the grassy valleys of Earth are green.
EVE: What are you implying?
SATAN: I'm simply a messenger from God here to ask you, "Are you happy in your skin?"
EVE: I suppose things could be better, but Adam and I are pleased with what God gave us.
When Eve went to Adam, he told her about what the 'blue-bird messenger' of God told her. Adam looked troubled but agreed with his wife that their green-colored skin made it difficult to separate them 'taxonomically' from the green trees and green grass valleys of Earth. Adam wondered if God should have given them blue-colored skin, so as to connect them 'artistically' with the sky and water rater than the grass and trees and vegetation.
When God visited Adam, Adam presented God with water-color paintings of blue skies and blue waters and demanded to know why God didn't give him and his wife blue-colored skin. God was enraged and wanted to know who put the idea into his head that blue-colored skin would have been preferable. Adam explained that his wife Eve was visited by a mysterious 'messenger' who suggested that green-colored skin would make them too obsessed with the fertility of the green grass valleys and vegetation of planet Earth.
God sent his warrior-archangel Michael to subvert the anti-establishmentarian agenda of Lucifer/Satan. Michael charged Satan with disruption of the peace and the public good and with the dissemination of treasonous ideas such as the alteration of natural chemical colors of Adam and Eve. Lucifer/Satan was humiliated and fled from Michael but vowed to prove his theory: "Adam and Eve will one day turn to violence!"
