on Symbols

I 've been thinking the last days on the subject of the Original Sin and the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and what could it symbolize...
I ended up with this possible explanation (if there is one).
The Fruit is no fruit at all... it's Meat. And the sin is not Original at all, it is common, and we keep doing it and think nothing about it, few people even consider it a sin. So we are not guilty of the sin of Adam and Eve but of its perpetuation.
It all fits nicely. By abandoning the vegetarian diet homo evolved faster and to higher levels than would be possible without meat. His intelligence raised so he knew good, but also his instincts changed to that of a predator and so he knew evil. Earth is no longer a garden but a hunting field, and homo is since a competitor and predator to the rest of the animal kingdom. In both senses an enemy.
Recently we have been preying on god also, killing Him, eating the flesh, and drinking His blood, ritualisticly each year. Are we in for the next step of evolution?
That's if you believe in symbols...
