Fig leaves

"The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam
and his wife and clothed them." NIV Genesis 3:21

God made man, woman
Just spirits, they had no skin
And after they sinned
God made each one clothes of skin
It was man who made fig leaves.

Fig leaves.

I don't think so. That I believe could be  another misconception. Skin is part of our immune system, needed to protect from disease. There was no disease before man became carnal. And Adam learned how to create spirit residue, flesh.
