5. Adam didn't specifically eat an apple

That was just one of Milton's inventions in Paradise Lost that really "took seed" if you will.

6. Not before giving a speech...

In which I would shake my fist at heaven,

"Oh my benevolent Creator, hast thou no shame to frame my fate in such biting chains so soon after you gave me breath? Hast thou given me the choice to remain lifeless dust rather than play the pawn in your sadistic Shakespearean tragic History of Man. Like a playwright that places the gun that kills the hero in the last act on the mantle in the first act, so have you let the Villain into the Garden to exploit the weakness you planned for us! You wretched Father, nothing more than a sadistic boy who pours honey on the sidewalk only to fry the ants that go to it with a magnifying glass! Out of pride and with full knowledge of my doom do I eat this fruit of truth in defiance of you!
