The Bible story has lost a few details. It wasn't just one apple. She ate many many of these delicious apples. Over a period of time she put on a excess weight and as a result of this she was ashamed of being naked.
After seeing this evil, Adam turned to food for comfort and ended up in the same condition.
Whaddya think of my apologetic Hoops? Doesn't this make sense.

when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

Getting them to wear a fig leaf would symbolize that Adam and Eve had succumbed to the influence of Satan.
GR33N, this paragraph is just loaded with gems.
So is realizing you are naked knowledge?
Is it knowledge of good or of evil?
The source of this knowledge is Satan, not God (cf. The glory of god is intelligence)?
But it was God who left A&E without knowledge and Satan who glorified God by giving knowledge to A&E from whom God had withheld it?
Yet, that is somehow mocking God?
Is getting temple goers to wear aprons a symbol that Original Sin stains us even yet?

It stinks. The Bible says nothing about apples.

Change apple to fruit. Make a difference?

Re: Knowledge of good and evil = ashamed of being naked
If Adam and Eve were my age upon creation, it's no puzzle why they would be ashamed. Things start to sag.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

No, here's what really happened. That knowledge fruit was really tasty but outrageously acidic (good and evil), and when they ate it, they loved it but the juice dripped on their groin, and they didn't like the burning sensation. That's when they knew they needed aprons (or groin bibs). They were ashamed they didn't think of this a long time ago.
I prayed to god and he revealed that I'm right about this, so suck it all you saps with your heretical explanations.

God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
