How I met Mr. Apple
In our country there are no apple trees. So, we import them. I loved them and still I do. When I was a little boy, my father used to bring apples on special occasions. Like when on his Payday. Maybe a couple of weeks old apples, since they were harvested as apples took great difficulty coming here from the farm. They had to take a long journey on the lorry, in the voyage, through the mediterranean sea to reach us. And I didn't know all of this story. Yet, I knew only the taste of apple. The red color, and the tiny little seeds. Isn't it amazing fruit. It has more than 90% edible parts, compared to an avocado, or a mango. I would say, when the God made the Adam, and presented him with an apple how could he resist, eating it.
Forbidden Fruit in Garden of Eden.
And the Lord God commanded the man,
saying, Of every tree of the garden
thou mayest freely eat:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die.
— Genesis 2:16–17, King James Version [1]
It made me wonder what Adam felt when he first took a bite from the sweet apple. God, was he unfair? He made the Adam in the first place with some delicate intricate tongue with taste buds. Not one, hundreds of them for different flavors. He made the neuronal network to identify chemicals, and teeth to get a good bite. He developed a brain and put a consciousness in there. And he created the apple. He created the apple with real balance in chemical composition to stimulate exact taste buds in a unique combination. And then He expected Mr. Adam not to eat the apple? What is the logic behind it? Should I just leave it there thinking this is God's plan and I would never understand that?
Meeting Mrs. Apple Juice.
Back to the question again, what Adam felt when he first took a bite from the sweet apple?
I will take you a tour to how I met Mrs. Apple Juice. I first met her on a flight. That was my first flight, and I was offered like you guessed Mrs. Apple Juice on the plane. It was hard Mr. Apple to come to visit our country, so Mrs. Apple Juice did never make it there. Only because I took the journey that I ever met her. She was the Essence of Mr. Apple. As she reflected all the good things of Mr. Apple. Except for the shape and maybe the consistency, but the taste was similar. Even today I love drinking apple Juice. It made me wonder what Adam did feel when he took the first bite into the apple. I am sure he felt something, maybe it is 'Apple taste' but who knows. Imagine Adam, feels the mango taste like 'Apple' and apple taste like 'Mango'. Can anyone ever know? that his taste is switched? Even if you ask all the people in the world what he felt when he took the first bite into his apple, nobody would be able to answer the question. Not even Adam. Only he would know what he felt. And if you ask after a day or two From Adam what he felt yesterday, when he took the bite from the apple, he will tell he felt something like 'apple taste'. But that even is just a memory, and that's not the real 'taste'. This fact leads to an interesting conclusion. Now think about the following.
God's existence and Apple Juice
let's look at evidence of God's existence. If anyone claims, to know that what the other person felt, that person should be able to 'be' the exact person at the exact time. Because the sensations are temporary. Memory of a sensation is never the same as the sensation. If God knows everything, he has to be inside us every moment, living the same lives with us. Is it not great to know, that God lives in us all the time? Other side of the argument is that God, knows only some of the things. So, it means there must be some means even to cheat the God if it's true, when his attention is somewhere else. Maybe those were the thoughts of Adam, when he took the bite of the apple in the first place. Only God knows what he thought.
