All day everyday I just assumed it was Durian and they died from extreme projectile vomiting.

I mean, the comic is fun and all, but those melons are super tasty too (and expensive where I live).
Read Genesis as a tale of solar system and earth formation, followed by animal evolution, then human evolution. For an origin myth, it's by far the closest to reality I've encountered.
"Let there be light!"
Solar ignition.
"Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures..."
First animals created were in the sea! They brought in the birds way too fast though. :)
They got the order of events mixed here and there, but if you squint real hard, you can see it. But Adam and Eve's fall from grace really nails it.
There they were, walkin' around butt naked, eating whatever they wanted, no problems. Then they decide to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the troubles begin. They are cursed to spend their days toiling for food (beginning of agriculture), Eve is cursed with painful childbirth (we evolved big heads because we got that Knowledge).
They suddenly develop problems that animals don't have; shame of nakedness, knowledge that they'll die, struggling with morals, enmity between the sexes, etc. Cherry on top, they can't go back to monke.
CAVEAT: The version you read makes a difference. Whatever I'm cribbing off now isn't as clear as the last time I wrote about this. Also, there's a second creation story in the same damn book! Chapters 2 and 3 are a beat-for-beat repeat of 1. Who edited this mess!? 🤦🏻♂️
Sure... its super accurate if you ignore the order and skip most of it.
