apple vs. pomegranate vs. common sense

  And the serpent he said unto the woman, "Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree in the garden?" And the woman said unto the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest ye die."
  And the serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be gods, knowing good and evil. 
  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 
  And the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 
   
   Let me get this straight. God gives them the garden, says you can have everything...but this. This is off limits. Why was he surprised when they tried the forbidden fruit? I mean, isn't he all seeing and all knowing? Wouldn't he know that this was coming as soon as he created this tree and threw Lucifer from heaven? If he controls all fate, and everyone is on a predestined path, why did he get pissed when Adam and Eve lived out the destiny he set for them? That doesn't seem fair. It seems to me like he made a mistake, and needed a scapegoat. And her name is Eve. Please. Original sin? Women are put through childbirth because she believed the talking snake, and ate a piece of fruit, even though God hadn't taught her good and evil, and therefore she didn't even know that lying was possible, which makes her not applicable to make her own decisions in such circumstances. 
   If you have read the title to this, is talks about a piece of irony I personally looooove. Religious experts (they exist. I know, right? lol) now are saying that they don't believe Adam and Eve ate the forbidden Apple of Wisdom, because when they study the geography and flora described in the Bible, in sounds like what you would find in the Middle East. This leads them to believe Eve took the first bite from the Pomegranate of Wisdom. Doesn't have the same ring, does it? Or are the words "Middle East" wrecking it for the looneys that believe the creation story the Bible tells?
   Thats right, psychos. That place that your so certain is full of evil Muslims trying to kill us is... the Garden of Edan, Paradise, call it what your will. This is the final piece of evidence demanding the Christians re-evaluate the Middle East religious battle. Firstly, JESUS WAS MIDDLE EASTERN. I don't care what is drawn on your pamphlet, he was NOT BLOND. Secondly, we need to look at who actually owned the land first, and whether their practice was legal. You might remember how long the Christians were banned, and had to go underground. If they worship was outlawed, they can't now claim that they owned that land. It would  illegal for them too. 
   There is of course another argument. Its called science. Its what a lot of religious wing nuts call bullshit. This is Darwins theory. Which has skeletons and fossils to back it up. What does the Christian creation story have as evidence? The Bible. Need I say more?
