Create a fuss as Adam and Eve had to do (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raise cain

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'adam and eve had to do' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'create a fuss' is the wordplay.
'create' becomes 'raise' (raising is a kind of creating).
'a fuss' becomes 'cain' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'raise'+'cain'='RAISE CAIN'

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for raise cain that I've seen before include "Cause a noisy disturbance" , "Make an angry fuss" , "Make a lot of noise (in anger)" , "Make an uproar - lift Abel's brother" , "Cause a commotion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
