No problem! The apple is really an apple as far as I know. There are a lot of metaphors in the Bible, but that is not one of them (lol). Also, I agree with your assume that on fate. I think people have free will to choose what they do.
Do you think it is possible for cultivators to exist in real life?
DaoBart
agreed I feel you brother
DaoBart well we have supernatural powers, and there's different ways to achieve it and one of them is Austerity that monk in old China practice which unlock a very few powers in human bodies, as scientists said human brain has unknown capabilities that still we can't found to how active it , there is also another way which gives humans some weird and strong power but is not recommended for normal humans and they shouldn't go in that direction if they are not ready to accept to consciousness of it because they will lose their Conscience in the process of it , and it's about to make a contact with the creatures that are hidden from us humans , i don't want to talk about it anymore and its not recommended because i know few ppl that suffered from it greatly....anyway there is nothing like cultivation but ways to achieve powers that humans aren't allowed to use...
The end.

There are many theories of how the world began, in one hand we have religion and in the other we have science, but the one thing that i find in comon is that they both have a missing part for example religion says god created everything, my question to that how did god existed and why? for science we have the big bang, and the same question, how and why.
The space we live in is just like a speck of sand in a desert, so my question how is that this planet (earth) is the only one in the vast cosmos that has life, or why we want to believe that.
Maybe cultivators are people of those worlds we don't know in this bast universe.
somthing i am certain is that in this moment there are no earthly cultivators, why do i say that? Because the world we live in is too young or to old and it doesn't have spirituality, mana, qi, prana however you like to call it, or it is just extremely thin so it doesn't affect anything (i include animals and plants).
In conclusion........i want to cultivate......):
i just wanted to post something because i found it very interesting, and wanted to share something
Pd: because we can't do it now doesn't mean we can't do it later it is just that we lack knowledge to do it.

Your explanation was very good, i am not a religious man myself, i believe that religion is like a guide for people to better themselves in a way the predesesors stablished, for example the ten commandments.
you mention creationalism, but let me ask you something, in the bible it is said that god created the sun, the earth and the moon but it never mentions the other planets in the solar system and going further nothing about other systems in the galaxy, what is your opinion on that, based on your religious beliefe, it's just a curiosity of mine don't feel ofended and if you do, i ask you pardon me.

Sure, I don’t mind having a friendly discussion. I’ll start by saying that this is my opinion, and everyone has a different opinion. So, I respect the fact that you are not religious.
Actually, I disagree with the initial premise. You have to remember that the Bible was written my men who lived like 2,000 years ago. They didn’t know what “planets” or “black holes” or “space” were. After god created light and the sea, he created lights in the sky (or stars). Those are all of the things that you are looking for. They just didn’t know what all of the “lights” were. If you are curious, this is Genesis 1:14.
Also, on a personal note, I’ve studied space a lot. I’m literally an aerospace engineer. You might be curious to hear that nothing in space conflicts with the Bible (except the belief that god is real, which can’t be proven scientifically). However, some different aspects of more modern explanations of the universe, like the Big Bang, have mathematical and theoretical problems that can’t be solved. Again, my opinion. That’s why Steven Hawkins argues that there is no beginning: he can’t explain how the beginning happens. Even models that run in an infinite loop with white holes spawning new universes would need something (or someone) to start the process...
I'm pretty sure farmers exist.
Fern_is_Plant boop, an interesting discussion :)

No it isn't possible. Simply because This is the real world, and those are things from fantasy. They do not and never will exist in real life. Sadly

I do think it’s possible Buddha was one of them he did cultivate under a tree for along time in order to be enlightened. In my opinion you have to help those people in need and make them believe that your a god or send by the god in order to gain enlightenment.
suprim_bhandari it might be possible when humans can create worlds and living beings and enhance or evolve through their gene enhancement.

Anything can occur within Psychiatric hospitals. You can cultivate there as much as you want. Perhaps one day you will reach enlightenment...and calm your mind.
