This is not biblically accurate. She should be naked, since she doesn’t yet have knowledge of good and evil, and god considers nudity evil, because he is a prude. But also he didn’t clothe Adam and Eve, cause he’s a perv.

Also bellybutton shouldn't exist on Adam and Eve.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

How do you think god counted them? Poke a finger in the belly.

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

I chuckled. Thanks

or should it...

no, no, a birthing God entity is a gross thought, stop...

My quip with the artistic choice is that they made Eve have very very long hair which could have served as breast cover. But they chose to add the inaccurate leaves...

And the bible never says the fruit was an apple

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Given the era, I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a fig

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's the garden of eden so there's no reason to believe that it's a fruit we have. My head canon is that it was a giant, fruit shaped flaming hot Cheeto

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

So it was a FIG-ticious fruit?

It's actually just for support, they're pretty heavy

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 7 points 2 days ago

The comic is obviously of a theatre reproduction of the event.

This implies that the garden of Eden was in the US as they're the only ones that know what pumpkin spice even is.

Her wearing a bra even before having a bite suggests that too.

[–] Infomatics90@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago

was going to say, she was supposed to be naked.

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Maybe 10 years ago but nowadays it's internationally much more ubiquitous

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't think many places share this seasonal pumpkin obsession.

[–] siipale@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Sure they do. Marketing people will try to sell us anything they can imagine. Maybe we'll have a Thanksgiving in Finland at some point. We already have Black Friday. Great excuse to sell more stuff.

Bottomless but not topless? Eden was a wild place!

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Just like Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood

And those girls at the party in Harold & Kumar 2.

The "apple" was a persimmon?

[–] dragontamer@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Actually, the Bible just says it's the fruit of a tree.

It could have been an orange, pomegranate, or banana.

Pomegranates are one of the oldest cultivated fruits, so they're somewhat plausible, but I'm fairly certain humans made oranges (and most other citruses, through selection and grafting... though I guess it could have been a mandarin, pomelo, or citron, which seem to be the three we started with) and bananas (through selection and cloning), so it couldn't have been those.

Apples, on the other hand, seem to have existed long before humans, so they're definitely a possibility.

It was probably some kind of nut, though.

[–] Homescool@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Apples existed, but they looked and tasted nothing like they do now. Today's apples are sweet and swole and that's brought to you by selective breeding and a growth strategy that extended beyond cider to dominate the mobile phone industry.

[–] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I've been wondering about this for a while, and I've come to the conclusion that blackberries are probably the original thing. Brambles grow like weeds all over Europe, I don't think anyone is cultivating them to be different. Apples definitely have had a human hand in selecting the best apples to start fresh orchards with.

I'm open to correction though.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Weed, they got baked and leaned the knowledge of good and evil.

"apple" used to just mean "fruit"
