I wonder if Türkiye has any comments on that...

This is so stupid.

Propped up against the gravity of what? If Earth fell down the infinite columns, how long would it fall? What would be the difference? What are the columns made of? Can we mine them? So many questions.

I'm not arguing for or against, just saying that there is no path on deciding what the author meant because we don't even know who wrote it and they are long dead anyway. And there is nothing to study in nature because it was all fiction.

Of course, and I did not shit on any beliefs. I only commented on the phrasing that you chose, namely "what the fruit was". Even if you were talking about a short story fan fiction this would be the same situation.

The story had dozens of authors and rewrites. There is no correct answer. Possibly some authors and editors would give you different answers. My take is that there is no correct answer to be found and we can't rely on checking facts of the event.

Sorry if you got the impression that I am Christian. I am atheist and believe that we have to avoid resorting to the same kind of fantasy arguments that theists use.

That is why I feel that throwing out conjectures as if they were facts is contrary to a sound reasoning necessary to overcome theist thinking.

Thank you for taking time to look up the knowledge that are the basis of your argument.

I remain unconvinced because just the possibility of another meaning does not pose a convincing case for that alternate meaning to be the "correct" one.

The notion that there is a correct version of the story that is different than the current bible interpretation is probably also harmful because it entertains the possibility that any version is correct. But I think knowing the current version of the fantasy story is probably good so you can take it to pieces if necessary.
