on the other side of things: > god creates garden of eden and adam and eve etc. > adam and eve are the first humans ever, very gullible and naive, no prior history to learn from > adam and eve do not have the knowlege of good and evil, and they do not know it is evil to disobey god > if they did have the knowledge of good and evil, then eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil would be meaningless > eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was only significant because they did not have that knowledge before eating it > why would god put the forbidden trees in the middle of where adam and eve live? > why would god create the serpent? > why would god let the serpent into the garden of eden? > god is all knowing and all powerful and knows exactly what will happen > serpent isn't stupid, in fact it's very manipulative and intelligent > how could the snake know how to do this? shouldn't it be as naive as adam and eve? (unless god designed the snake for this task?)
