It's more than just that, to me at least, rogue49.
I've always been intrigued by this aspect of Christianity. Every civilization has a story about how sin was brought into the world. It's rather interesting, the question that he asked. Were Adam and Eve capable of evil prior to eating the apple? What if god HADN'T told them? They still commited an evil act without any real evil intent. What this says to me is that man, as a mere product of free will, is capable of evil, and therefore, is not born good and pure.
Just remember that next time you see that cute little bugger coo at the mobile above him. He could be plotting to take over the world MUAHAHAAHA!
Ahem...
