"It is quite clear for those that have some commonsense, that what Adam and Eve did, re - taking of Words, would have been part of the plan.
Commonsense would also suggest, they were not literally eating fruit and there was probably not a literal garden."
It's good to see your ongoing efforts to make sense of that Biblical story.
Still quite a large number to go though so don't slack off !
Why not consider this view of Moses Maimonedes, a Jew with understanding of scared scripture.
Though don't tell any of the literalists and fundamentalists which would spoil their fantasies.
"Every time that you find in our books a tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then to be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of the spirit "
