Ya' want the truth. You can't handle the truth. The fact is that it was all as real as a heart attack. The garden, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (tree of life), the talking snake, and getting kicked out is all the literal truth. Of course the story was mangled by the Greeks who didn't understand any of the referents nor the original language or people of the stories. They got only enough right to put two and two together and solve it.
The garden of the lord was a very real place where the water came up from below and watered the surface of the earth. Through evaporation and "the coming into being of rain" it formed the headwaters of all downwind rivers. The four major ones being listed in the Bible. The apple was actually a sycamore fig growing in the dissolution products of sandstone one of which was "fossilized gold" or auric sulphide with the sulphur stripped away by time. This gold was carried in the water and fixed in the figs the eating of which caused extended lifetimes and deposition of metallic gold on long bones as well as having the curious effect of making them smell good. Indeed, individuals who ate these figs had a distintive and highly pleasant odor. "Serpents" were actually "leaks" where gasses or water were unintended and could be fatal. Adam awoke after exposure to toxic levels of CO2 and felt like a rib had been ripped from his chest. This was when he found Eve and began a long line of oral traditions. There were two cherubim and a flaming sword gaurding the garden but after one cherubim was covered up by a large structure the flaming sword fell and disappeared. Now all that's left are the two biggest X's on the planet to mark the spot and a parking lot. Actually there are numerous parking lots but the song says there's only one. Curiously people come to look at the X's and imagine the idiocy which they believe built them so more and more parking lots are needed.
I can't help but wonder if some people today are covering up something else with perfume.
