Ah! what if it was mostly metaphor.. True as far as its understood... but telling a huge story simply as metaphor.. Which is was.. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil IS a metaphor.. not an actual TREE.. as are many other things in the telling of that story.. basically biblical sound bites.. Its all in my book..LoL..
