The Connection

The UB explains that Genesis is a euphemism for a sexual union: "eating fruit" equals mating with Cano. The "forbidden" act was the compromise of the Adamic biologic mission. "Original sin" is a theological abstraction built on a garbled memory of a real default by a real Material Daughter.

Historical Evidence(Moderate evidence)

Bernhard Lang (Society for OT Study, Ashgate, 2008) reconstructs the forbidden tree as originally a mandrake promoting fertility, with a pre-canonical narrative involving gods prohibiting the fruit so only they would possess the secret of fertility/sexuality. The Adapa Myth (Mesopotamian): both Adapa and Adam "underwent a test before the deity based upon something they were to consume, both failed and forfeited immortality."
