The forbidden fruit was put into place to teach man laws, rules. we are given everything on the planet just don't touch this one thing. We are given free will to decide for ourselves if we listen to God or not. It is a ying and yang situation, we are offered a choice do as the creator tells us or do as we choose, which one do we decide? And I`m thinking us humans keep making our own choices. Look at the world today, chaos, famine, droughts, floods, the list is endless. In todays times, people want everything, think about it, we keep taking more then we need.

Who was bible god growing them for?
What man of sense will agree with the statement the first, second and third days in which the evening is named and the morning, were without sun, moon and stars and the first day without a heaven? What man is found such an idiot as to suppose that God planted trees in Paradise, in Eden, like a husbandman? I believe that every man must hold these things for images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed. ~ Origen Adamantius, 184/5–253/4

Well then the word test is wrong – you must mean lesson?
And while I find your ideas interesting I don’t see where the bible or the Garden of Eden fit in to any of this?
You seem to be describing an on going process, something evolutionary – for the christians the apple/fall/Eden thing is seen as a disaster and as something only an outside agent can fix
