I am not following you. Its not a real tree.
Does that matter ? If it was not a real tree, then what was it ?

I have seen strong evidence to suggest it is a metaphor representing the pine trees in Siberia from under which grew the amanita muscaria psychedelic mushroom (or "pineapple"). The "apple" being the mushroom. This of course explains how the tree is described as the "tree of knowledge".
The fruit of the tree could just as easily be mushrooms growing on a cow patty, common in Africa.
lol that would be a cool explanation but where does Siberia fit into the bible stories ?
In upper latitudes Siberia was a place where the Sun truly "died" for part of the year.
See this doc for more info!
Hmm I can't view that here. I'll have to view that at home tomorrow..
Being rendered mortal from a defacto immortal state is dying. God is correct, again!
If Adam is peeing and letting it hang loose in front of Eve, why should he suddenly become ashamed of his genitals? Obviously, because he now knows another use for them connected to evil - the lust in his heart - as opposed to a good - the simple need to relieve one's bladder.
Right, NOT PROOF THAT GOD LIED!

What God?
You're the one playing twister.
