My personal interpretation of this allegory is that Adam & Eve represented 2 distinctly different groups of humans, the apple represents genetic synthesis between the 2 groups, and the serpent represents the scientific/ideological underpinning for the aforementioned genetic combination.

Evil is the manifestation of these two opposing genetic inheritances still in the process of collectively becoming (or unbecoming).

Good is the individual attainment of this, an is very very rare. As is Evil.

Most of what we consider to be either good or evil is really just a misunderstood consequence of handing nature the keys to its own locks, and not truly indicative of either. Which is to say that the most common characteristic of modern man is a deluded mediocrity, as evidenced by this /thread.
