I’m kidding here, but the similarities are odd. The weather is always between 70F and 85F all year round. The biggest threat to you on the island are apples. You shouldn’t eat the apples that grow on the island; the small green ones are poisonous. Oh, and it isn’t easy to immigrate there. It’s a place where only few people are allowed to reside. Oh, and did I mention the abundant variety of plants and animals on the island?

There's no mention of apples in the biblical record, just "fruit"

Right, the Inanna myth where she learns about sex also talks about eating the herbs and trees on a mountain / highland, I'm not sure when Eden was associated with an apple.
