This needs more work, with additional history. I'll try to get to it soon. (Want to add Johnny Appleseed, and apples in Greek myth, at a minimum, and some reorganization would help.) Vicki Rosenzweig

Somebody deleted a reference to the appearance of apples in the Bible because they stated it was wrong. While I don't know the Bible well enough to be sure whether this deletion was correct or not, if it is, wouldn't the fact that the popular mythology is wrong be in itself worthy of mention?
