The whole Garden of Eden story is fascinating. It was how ancient people told a story of why we're different that animals. Hell, Genesis is a tale of solar/planetary formation. Let there be light! Solar ignition. If you squint hard enough, and allow a few bits to get mixed up, it gets evolution explained. Seriously! Read it. It's short. And then there's the next bit that tells it again, but mixed up a bit more. No shit. There are two origin stories in the same book. It's a short book. Read it yourself.
So Eve eats from "the fruit of the tree of knowledge", all goes downhill from there. Consider; Man gets smarter. We're not swinging from trees, eating fruits and the occasional monkey baby, times get hard, we get kicked out. Now we have to plow the land, invent agriculture and work at it. Our mothers suffer from having to birth these big-brained bastards. All curses from GOD for getting smarter.
All in all, considering the ignorance of those folks, it's a compelling origin story.
Speak for yourself!
