So Adam and Eve ate an apple is NEITHER true NOR false since we don't know what it was.
Joseph Kelarjian
So, anything new?
The Armenian Bible, which is one off from the original Greek says that "The Apple" was a pomegranate. Also, it bust the myth of wearing "fig leaves". Anyone who has picked figs will understand this. If they used fig leaves, they would have scratched their "junk" till they bled out. It was banana leaves. Logical.

I still like the horns on the Viking hats even if they aren't factually correct! I knew about alcohol, toads, Napoleon and the apple.

David Heinz, and how do you know this? References please.

About Adam and Eve eating as apple. You are correct. The forbidden fruit was actually having sex with Satan. It resulted in Eve birthing twins. Cain and Able. Bale’s father was Adam and Chain’s father was Satan.

Apple or not, it was the pair on the ground that got us into this mess.

I stayed from toads, but I didn't give much thought to others. I always wanted why people assumed the forbidden fruit was an apple.

That's a picture of a frog not a toad!

Snow White bit into an apple and it didn’t work well for her. So I’m leaning towards Adam and Eve eating an apple too. Forbidden!🍎😁😁

Cheryl Dymond, Are u saying the Bible is a "myth"?

I wish that fish had a 3 sec memory. Living in a bowl with a plastic box of treasure swimming in circles must be soooo boring.. Maybe if they could see the TV...
But in the sea or a river, better have very good memory or life snuffed out all too fast

Thanks for the stories!!
Cheryl Dymond
why would they put biblical myth in with facts?
Rafi Manory
If I remember correctly, according to Jewish scholars the fruit that Adam and Eve are were figa. They are the fig and immediately realized that they were naked and used fig leaves to cover themselves.
