Simply because a story isn’t factually true doesn’t mean it can’t be instructive, especially since the OP isn’t about creation.
While I agree with Nudger that there’s no real connection - other than a politically motivated one - between the Fall and the Redemption fables, the former is chiefly meant as a lesson on the consequences of disobedience (and not just disobedience to God), while the latter is a rather cynical way to try to keep the plebes in line.

The issue isn’t whether or not a non- factual story can be instructive. The issue is such instruction as a particular story might seem to offer is intended as the bait for what?
