It's interesting that in this story, it was a good thing for first woman and first man to eat the fruit. Even encouraged by Creator to do so.
Inverse of the Bible story where eating the fruit was what brought sin into the world. Not a criticism, just interesting.
Thank you for sharing it.

I almost commented to mention the same thing! Haha!
Also, the Bible often refers back to Eve's "original sin" as being the reason why sex, birth, and menstruation need to be punished in so many ways... (Like no premarital sex, no going to church on your period, nor going to church after giving birth - especially when having a daughter because it's bringing more sin into the world and you're pretty much even more tainted - and so on.)
But fun fact, strawberries are an aphrodisiac. 😂 Not to mention, they're one of the healthiest things to eat during pregnancy for folate, iron absorption, etc. And they're great for relieving menstrual cramps/pains, bloating, inflammation, promoting hormonal balance. Plus other period-, pregnancy-, and sex-related benefits in general they provide, too, lol. So... Almost like the Creator saying, "Hey, I'm gonna try to help you get lucky enough to get her back. Aaaaand for all y'all to stay lucky from there on out. 👍"
