A:No. If we took the story of the forbidden tree literally, we would have to believe that a creature with a forked tongue and with no larynx could speak in human language, and even that a creature with a tiny brain could be so clever as to say these things to Eve. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says we can learn most from the story by regarding it as mythical.
