The first story we learn about our creation is that  Eve tempted Adam with the apple....and the misogyny continues.

The tree of tree of knowledge of good and evil is cannabis.

Adam had a vision. God told him to stay away from the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This was before Eve even existed. But when Eve came along, Adam told her that his vision applied to her, too. This is a fallacy. Adam's vision was for Adam. If God had wanted Eve to abstain from this wonderful fruit, He could have told her in a vision the same way He told Adam, but He didn't. Nor was any reason given for the seemingly arbitrary prohibition. So Eve decided to find out for herself, by acquiring personal experience. When Eve ate the apple, she got knowledge of good and evil. She knew then that the apple is good and the prohibition is evil. The apple was not a literal apple, it is cannabis. If you use cannabis, you will be disenfranchised from society (cast out of the garden).

makes so much sense, Bill

Women invented agriculture?

The adam and eve story apparently is part of folklore that predates the old testament and judaism and is fascinating in that it alludes to women inventing agriculture, and settlements that led to civilisation. Prior to that, life was one long circular hunting trip.  or continuois migration. The story seems to be an early romanticising of nature by people who now felt detached from it, and later given a patriarchal spin by Judaism (the framers). Bills right it is a metaphor for detachment caused by knowledge. 

Jews adopted it in the same way Christians adopted it from the Jews. It's a witch hating (1st war on women) fable who's aim is to both help establish patriarchy and  reflect it's growing influence. It can also be used to make a case to rulers to not teach  the masses to read and aquire knowledge, something it and other religious narratives succeeded in doing for many centuries untill they were all finally middle fingered by the combined forces of printing and universal literacy by 1914.  I can't prove all this and my hypothasis is intuative, the subconscious being able to process far more data and recognize patterns and trends, and analyse the causes behind those trends with an intuative guess.
