Lou, it's a serious discussion. Serious discussions are for people who do not believe that eating an apple caused everything wrong in this world.
Anyway on a related note: what was God planning to do with that apple? It really must have been something special. Or was he just teasing Adam and Eve? And if they really were in such a paradise, then why were they so bored that the apple suddenly became interesting? What would you want to do with all that knowledge if you can have fun all eternity?
