1.) the idea of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil in Eden being an apple tree was made up long after the bible was published. There's no mention of apples in the bible whatsoever
2.) The story is a metaphor for the evolution of human concsciousness at the point where we began to perceive the false duality between good and evil. Don't woory most christians don't get it either .
3.)there was no Cain, Abel, adam, or eve, This story too is a metaphor. Again most Christians cant wrap their heads around that either.
