I wonder if the forbidden fruit was actually an apple? Are apples really that old? Is there a chance that perhaps it was some other fruit that's now extinct? What do you think?
Oh and also, assuming it really was an apple, I wonder how it made it out of the Garden of Eden. Your thoughts, please, if any. :-)
Thanks. *takes a bow*
