He might have had an allergic reaction??
I also thought that the man was allergic to the food.

All right...he dies eventually, about a couple hundred years later....but eventually...
I can't believe people believe the hype about Eve taking the first bite. Adam was the original spin doctor.
Adam did not in fact die the day he ate the forbidden fruit that Eve gave him...., now his eyes were open and he had shame and a conscience! Adam went to have alot of children and dying at the supposed ripe ol age at 130....
It did not say he died immediately....it was just the reason he died...which is true....
i personally didn't like this one for no reason in particular.....but it does work...is not flawed.

Triskit, it's not a myth. And I liked this. A true situation teaser! Gonna try this one on my friends.
why eat the stupid fruit in the first place? if i was Eve, i would have strangled the snake/satan.
Perhaps he liked the stuff so much he ate too much of it, caused his stomach to explode
