The Bible doesn't say that it was an apple.
The '''Fall of man''' is the Judeo-Christian theological concept that mankind and the universe existed in a perfect and ideal state prior to a 'fall' triggered by the actions of [[Eve]]. In this state, death and suffering did not exist - Adam and Eve were, for practical purposes, immortal - as were all animals. Predation did not occur - animals now carnivorous existed on a diet of plants.

The one flaw of this perfect world was [[Satan]], who was able to trick Eve into consuming an apple she had been forbidden by God from eating. The effect of this was immediately to introduce [[Sin]] into the universe. No longer perfect, but tainted by sin, the perfect universe rapidly decayed with the introduction of death, predation, disease, pain, and all other consequences of sin.

[[Young-earth creationists]] have determined the fall to account for various apparent contradictions with scientific dating mechanisms which assume an approximately uniform rate of change. Genetic dating, for example, would vastly exaggerate time spans prior to the Fall as in the perfect sinless state genetic mutation would be minimal.
