The omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient god not only can’t figure out that making something forbidden only makes it interesting, but can’t figure that out about his own creation. Not tremendously impressive, if you ask me.
TV? Over 20 years since I had one in my house and I don’t miss it. Here (Ozark County, MO), radio reception is lousy except for HTT (Holier-than-Thou) and R&R (rant and rave) stations so the radio is silent. I can listen to music of my choice (on CDs) if I want to.
Brought to you by the good folks at MTV. Thus began the downfall of American society. Baton then picked up by the Kardashians and Honey Boo-Boo. Any wonder why we’ve degenerated?
The common identification of the “Apple” as the “Forbidden Fruit” (in Western Europe, anyway) goes back a thousand years or more, possibly because of the similarity between the Latin mălum (n. “evil”) and mālum, a type of apple. It may have begun as a deliberate pun. I also suspect that it gained ground because apples are common in Greek and Roman mythology, so the old fruit got plugged into the new mythos. Whatever the genesis (so to speak), it’s an entrenched image in the popular consciousness. So don’t assume Wiley doesn’t know the difference, just assume he doesn’t care.
And freeholder1, to the extent that it’s the Tree of Porn, you’ve gotta figure that looking at naked people on the computer is a lot less fun if you don’t know what “naked” is…

It wasn’t apples! God didn’t say “don’t eat the apples”! Now who’s the idiot?

So, when Eve saw how Adam couldn’t stop staring at them, was she the first to call it the boob tube?

Looks like TV’s, but when I first saw it it looked like teabags which was very fitting as well.
