No I am not talking about Newton. The real genius who should be associated with the apple is the writer(of course it might have been more than one) of the old testament. The whole tree of knowledge was an inspired piece of work.
In every religion the priesthood has always tried to figure out ways and means of asserting their superiority, usually this is not a problem because most people are dumb. But the trouble makers are the ones who actually start applying logic to religion and start destabilizing the priesthood.
This is where the Old Testament is a piece of art. By tarnishing knowledge and associating curiosity with the devil, in one clean sweep they defeated any logic based attacks. There are innumerable illogical, totally stupid things in the Old Testament but you cannot say anything against them, because logic and knowledge are really the devil's domain only faith is God's.
