The fruit of the Tree of Knowledge was the magic mushroom, and Adam and Eve are just the collective tales of the early hominids eating entheogens and learning about the heavens and hells from divine intervention through the mushroom sacrament, found growing in basically cow patties. Adam and Eve seeing themselves naked for the first time was the hominid losing our fur, and the archetypal couple being banished from the garden of Eden was the forests and jungles disappearing after thousands of years of climate change into African savannah. The story of Adam and Eve is real, because it is the condensed story of our literal genesis as a species and as humans, and our curiosity for knowledge as the mushroom taught us about the world, both the one without and the one within.
