Fortunately, one need not assume that a book -- Any book -- is telling the truth. Via such things as the scientific method, our own experiences, and the experiences of others, we have the means to
test the validity of a claim.
Obviously, the claim in the book of Genesis fails. Not all plants are safe to eat.
But disproving the Bible does not prove the validity of another belief. It isn't an either-or proposition, Wais... In the world of religion, there are other choices besides Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Everyone has a part of the truth, but in my opinion
nobody has the entire truth. And, on issues where there is no physical evidence, everyone might be wrong.
