I'm starting a petition to have the Minnesota Vikings change their logo.

So Adam and Eve ate an apple is NEITHER true NOR false since we don't know what it was.

Joseph Kelarjian

So, anything new? The Armenian Bible, which is one off from the original Greek says that "The Apple" was a pomegranate. Also, it bust the myth of wearing "fig leaves". Anyone who has picked figs will understand this. If they used fig leaves, they would have scratched their "junk" till they bled out. It was banana leaves. Logical.

I still like the horns on the Viking hats even if they aren't factually correct! I knew about alcohol, toads, Napoleon and the apple.

David Heinz, and how do you know this? References please.

About Adam and Eve eating as apple. You are correct. The forbidden fruit was actually having sex with Satan. It resulted in Eve birthing twins. Cain and Able. Bale’s father was Adam and Chain’s father was Satan.

Apple or not, it was the pair on the ground that got us into this mess.

Why would it matter that they were naked , there was only the two of them and the snake 🤣 Rafi Manory,

I stayed from toads, but I didn't give much thought to others. I always wanted why people assumed the forbidden fruit was an apple.

That's a picture of a frog not a toad!

Paula Salem

Snow White bit into an apple and it didn’t work well for her. So I’m leaning towards Adam and Eve eating an apple too. Forbidden!🍎😁😁

I thought toad urine cured warts not caused them

Cheryl Dymond, Are u saying the Bible is a "myth"?

Julie Domaille

I wish that fish had a 3 sec memory. Living in a bowl with a plastic box of treasure swimming in circles must be soooo boring.. Maybe if they could see the TV... But in the sea or a river, better have very good memory or life snuffed out all too fast

I still maintain a glass of mulled wine warms you up nicely!

mmariano

As usual, interesting ideas and notions. I enjoy reading immensely.

jack patti go

Thanks for the stories!!

Cheryl Dymond

why would they put biblical myth in with facts?

Rafi Manory

If I remember correctly, according to Jewish scholars the fruit that Adam and Eve are were figa. They are the fig and immediately realized that they were naked and used fig leaves to cover themselves.
