[i]Disclaimer:
This is a serious discussion. So I say to you this:
Go look there ---------------------------------------------
and see the category, before you read the discussion text.
What this mean? That I expect NOT a religious debate here. Just frigging answer the questions.
Honestly.
Or sarcastic.
Or hilarious.
Or whatever.[/i]

Supossing that, with your actual knowledges, you'll find yourself in the Garden of Eden, naked, with Eve, near the apple tree of Knowledge. Eve gives you an apple an ask you to bite it.
- Would you still bite it or not? Why?
- Would you preffer another fruit? Which one and why is that better than the apple?

- Would you still give the apple to Adam or not? Why?
- Would you preffer another advisor instead of a snake? Which one and why is that better than the snake?

"This is a serious discussion." Really?
P.E. stands for such a large range of subjects: http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/PE but I cannot see ONE which is relevant to the questions you ask.
The whole premise is erroneous (that should be EP, in any case, for 'Erroneous Premise') because the tree was NOT an apple tree (the name of the fruit is not specified, only its properties.
This makes the rest of the discussion pointless and ridiculous. It is the same sort of question as whether the chicken or the egg came first or how many angels you can get on the head of a pin.
Eve has already taken a bite of the apple and it clearly hasn't killed her, so I would obviously accept her suggestion to take another bite. I would then throw the core at the snake and tell it not to be so stupid as to believe that snakes can talk. It is clearly a fig-leaf of my imagination.

mwuahahahahaha
Mr. Owl Wings, hehe, obviously there comes a question:
If both Eve and Adam have bite the apple, why then in all drawings / paintings is the apple represented with just one bite mark ? + why women have not the "Adam Apple" ?
Anyway, as you have already got the point, I want to get opinions and answers which may be "on topic" or mocking the subject, but I wanted also that this discussion NOT to be treated as a religious one, reason for I stated is not in religion category.

Clearly all of those picture that show just one bite mark were taken before Adam bit the apple. Also, Eve took just one bite: Adam swallowed the thing whole (like most males do with any damn thing a pretty woman tells them - we haven't actually learned anything at all in 6000 years!) and it stuck in his throat, making a man's voice deeper and more resonant ever since.

I myself do not consider a discussion a discussion if someone tells me to “Just frigging answer the questions”
The only person that is going to tell me what to do is the admin. What is the point of the discussion this might help.
Besides a non religious discussion about Adam and Eve is impossible. A question like did Adam and Eve have belly buttons is a question but the asking of it does not deter from the fact that is still a religious subject. R.S

"A non religious discussion about Adam and Eve is impossible."
I see where you are coming from and would agree on the grounds that one can also have 'non-religious' discussions about unicorns, dragons, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and the spaghetti monster.

Why do you take the proposition out of the phraze context?
And hat admin has to do with this?
As for the: "A question like did Adam and Eve have belly buttons is a question but the asking of it does not deter from the fact that is still a religious subject.", I do not have to agree or disagree, fact is that mylot history shows that that question WAS into a discussion and fortunatelly was not taken as a religious matter.
http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2141283.aspx
Yet that time I received a number of PMs trying to pull me into a religious debate and I wanted to avoid it this time by saying "is not a religious topic so please answer or ignore".
In fact at the end of the disclaimer I gave some suggestions to point I address to sense of humor and not to the ... inquisition.
Nevermind, thanks for answer, I've been noticed and I will do it different next time. Or not.

The question about belly buttons was a question I heard long before any discussion about took place on Mylot. In latter discussions, you may have been applied humour but I just thought this discussion was meant to be serious because you started out saying that? 
Any question in my mind that relates to biblical events and certainly Adam and Eve having biblical origin relates to religious subject. I am not entertaining religious debates either but can not agree that a discussion about a religious topic is not.
Certainly a topic about little red riding hood could be about nothing more than a story about little red riding hood.
We all know that the spaghetti monster an atheist (dawkins) deity
and has religious overtures even if it is consider satirical. To say that it is humorous however is somewhat a contradiction if the theme of its usage is for religious debating which is what usually happens.
I am not saying that discussions can not take place about any topic. I only brought up admin as a response to who can or can NOT? Is this a response? Yes it is... to . . .
