Suspend your disbelief for a moment and consider the details offered in Genesis. God created Adam, and after a short time creates Eve as a partner for him. The two of them have no human parents to nurture and guide them, no grandparents, no uncles or aunts, no experience of growing up with siblings or cousins, no friends, no schooling, no childhood memories to learn from. They are naive, uneducated and inexperienced. A five year-old child would be better prepared for life's challenges than Adam and Eve were. So, when faced with an obedience test is it any wonder that they failed at the first attempt? Especially considering that they were confronted with the master deceiver, Satan himself, who had eons to perfect his craft of deception. After all, he’d successfully convinced a third of the angels of heaven to disobey God so what chance did two human fledglings have?
Surely God would have taken this into consideration right?
No. A death sentence, banishment from paradise and a curse upon all their children. Thanks a lot God.
