Heh, this sort of works with my own personal symbolic interpretation of Genesis: That the Original Sin wasn't eating the apple, it was the lie. First the snake lies to Eve, then Eve lies to Adam, and Adam lies to God. The sin was the denial of the reality of God's Creation, which wasn't possible until the Snake/Lucifer introduced reality-negation into the Earthly realm. And likewise, one could say that the veil is the enabler of lies, since it's only by being cut off from the divine that we're truly capable of thinking up contrary ideas.
But, again, that's just poetic. Not literal.
Many have pointed out that the word "sin" has been mis-interpreted. The word origin of "sin" means the state of missing the mark, in error as an arrow missing the bull's eye, not being guilty or punishable. I agree with this interpretation. Therefore my interpretation of the Original Sin brought forth by the knowledge of good and evil is this: the knowledge brought on our judgement of things being good or evil and the struggle between the two, thus we missed the point of the Logo design, which is of Choice. We are so entangled in good vs evil without making a clear choice to polarize. Our "sin" is that we missed the point of needing to act in accordance to the choice in order to accelerate our evolution, instead we acted by judging someone or something being good or evil.
As humanity wakes up more and more, many are beginning to abandon the path of duality, embrace non-dual teachings and focus on their choice (which is STO for most).
