text: No myth is HISTORICALLY accurate.  But this story is the basis of the teaching that 1) Eve [and some Fathers/Doctors taught that Eve stood for all women] tempted Adam---and all men
  2) That all humanity 'fell' from God's grace
  3) That Original Sin entered the world [although the Jewish people did not
  believe in Original Sin
  4) That Jesus had to die to 'expiate' God's Wrath over this sin
  -------------------
  There was no Garden, there was no Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, there was no fall.  But the official church is still teaching this as if it was not a myth.
