The fruit that Adam and Eve ate may not have been apples, it could've been oranges, bananas, peaches or pears. Many people assume that it was apples but none of us know because we weren't there. Adam and Eve were stupid, they chose to obey a serpent instead of The Lord. Their punishment was banishment and losing eternal life, they lost their reward. But whatever fruit it was, when Adam and Eve ate it, it became the world's first sin. Adam and Eve's stupidity caused all of us to pay the price, it causes our lives to end.
