So if man was intellegent before he ate the apple, why did he become intellegent AFTER he ate the apple? Why was there a magic tree that gave out intellegence?
The fact of this fairy tale is this. Man was dumb and god wanted him to stay that way. Satan tricked the dumb man, and that dumb man became smart.
As punishment for becoming smart, god gave man death. And then the church goes on and says that free will is man's greatest gift. Sounds hokey to me.
