It's possible that the Garden Story is metaphorical for humanity becoming moral agents, responsible for cruel and yucky acts.
That's what many modern Bible scholars would say -- or something on that order.
But YEC Bible God doesn't allow that interpretation 'Cuz then all them gobs and gobs of evidence of deep time, deep history, and evilution couldn't be rejected out of hand giving his cult followers a modicum of credibility and not opening up Christianity for Dawkinsian strawman ridicule.
The Real God would allow that interpretation. The Real God wouldn't curse all of physical Creation for biting a fruit. The Real God wouldn't create a fictional universe that seems to any intelligent human to be a product of deep time and cosmic and biological evolution. The Real God wouldn't play such a nasty, nasty trick AND He wouldn't subject His Creation to all the all that cruelty and blame it on two people who were in a state of innocence and duped by the supernaturally-intelligent serpent.
But YEC Bible God does that.
YEC Bible God darkens the minds of those caught in his cultic trap.
YEC Bible God makes a mockery of truth and all that is good.
YEC Bible God bad.
YEC Bible God makes Richard and Christopher and Ward happy.
YEC Bible God also makes Jorge and JR and Cerebrum and Mr. Black happy.
Me no likely YEC Bible God.
