fixed it."An apple a day brings sin near"
"An Apple a day keeps God away"
I think that's what Apple is trying for.Who enjoys a thought provoking conspiracy theory? I don't, but I have one that people might have missed overall.
1# It is generally accepted the fruit Adam & Eve ate is to be represented as the common apple.

(This is primarily the scene of the temptation of Eve to take the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil)
2# Interestingly the apple is also used symbolically for a student's appreciation of learning from a good teacher.

3# Then there are many family photo outlets that advertise at least one portrait of a baby being covered with apple's, usually because they are naked and representative of innocence.

A byte taken from the apple of knowledge?
Funny. But let's imagine that it was an apple. Eve innocently took a bite, with curiosity and waited to see what would happen and quickly gave it to Adam before she felt the guilt. Now Adam really knew he shouldn't and as he swallowed a piece of the apple ... it got stuck in his throat and remained there for all time so that he would remember what he did. And he passed it on to all his male descendants to this very day. We can look in the mirror and see an Adam's apple.Who enjoys a thought provoking conspiracy theory?

GOD could have chose any fruit tree to put in the midst if the Garden. It was pleasing to the eye. Women are attracted to red. But it wasn't poisonous, it was just a rule given to them that packed a spiritual and physical consequence. The power of God cursed them, not some substance in the fruit. It affected all life forms, distorted the genetic code and introduced death, disease, bacteria, viruses, illnesses, mutations.I seriously doubt that it was an apple. God made some plants that will take you to another dimension. I have no idea why it was presented as an apple. It was probably some crazy psychedelic plant that literally opened their eyes to self awareness. Knowledge of good and evil. Something we did not need. It was probably created for another reason and it was not good for us. We disobeyed and here we are.
God may have intended man to eat from it at a later time of His choosing, I don't know. Or maybe to forever stand untouched. ?I seriously doubt that it was an apple.

It seems to me that when Adam ate, as a direct consequence their eyes were opened and they died.GOD could have chose any fruit tree to put in the midst if the Garden. It was pleasing to the eye.

Right, they died spiritually and started to die physically. Though they lived hundreds of years..their cells died, they aged, got sick. God cursed everything, and kicked them out.It seems to me that when Adam ate, as a direct consequence their eyes were opened and they died.
Then God subjected creation to futility, I think that's where the earth and animals and everything were affected.
Much love!
That's an interesting observation!I just thought of something. When we feel guilt, or fear, we naturally swallow. It seems we all experience that guilt and fear that accompanied Adam and Eve's first bite of that forbidden fruit.

Odd, Adam and Eve, the first drug users - NO. God knew exactly what they would do..It was part of the plan. It was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Everything in the Garden was perfect, therefore LSD or psychedelic mushrooms did not exist.Well you could be correct. All I know is that there are substances on this earth that will literally take you to another dimension. People see and speak to the same entities in that dimension. That is from a tree and vine that God made.
Yes, and Apple makes you pay through the nose for all those forbidden bit's & byte's.I think that's what Apple is trying for.
Much love!
Oh yeah, I get that.Funny. But let's imagine that it was an apple. Eve innocently took a bite, with curiosity and waited to see what would happen and quickly gave it to Adam before she felt the guilt. Now Adam really knew he shouldn't and as he swallowed a piece of the apple ... it got stuck in his throat and remained there for all time so that he would remember what he did.

I think the fruit of the tree of knowledge is symbolic of information we gain through our senses. Adam & Eve ate "feed" their senses with information that was hijacked by a belief the serpent gave them. I don't think the tree of knowledge was dangerous at all, and the reason they were warned not to take any fruit from the tree was because a crafty sales snake was about to feed them a lie about what was good and evil for them.I seriously doubt that it was an apple.
