Why the whole Adam and Eve Fall story makes no sense

[Minimalist]

So you expect us to take fairy tales seriously?

No, not really.   Just making the option available.  I see the option is declined, and that's ok, no problem.

It was not a realistic option.

Agreed.

So, you agree that the Adam and Eve myth should not be taken seriously.

Seems obvious.

 Please don't make me believe you're an idiot, though I'm beginning to get to that point. I said God did not hold him (Adam) responsible for an evil act, God did as He promised and punished Adam and Eve exactly as He said He would if they disobeyed Him.

You're an idiot; respond to this question:

What question, I see no question mark do you.

Why are Southern Baptists, as a whole, willing to sentence individuals to death based solely upon DNA evidence, when that same evidence refutes the belief that human beings descended from one couple, a man (Adam) and a woman (Eve)?

  What makes you think that Southern Baptist as a whole believe in the death penalty. That is personal decisions people make and not all Southern Baptist believe in the death penalty. DNA has it's limits when going back in time, so the evidence you so tout hasn't refuted Adam and Eve. personally I believe in the death penalty in certain cases, each case holds it's own merits.

...she believed Satan over her husband, so God gave her a desire to obey him ...

(my bold)

... she believed Satan over her husband, so god took away her free will ...

Fixed that for you.  No thanks necessary.

You fixed nothing only prove you're childish and have no understanding of this conversation or what free will is.

He punished them for disobedience.  Therefore he held them accountable for disobedience.  I proved from the passage in Jeremiah that disobedience to God is equivalent to evil.  Therefore he held them accountable for evil.  But they were unaware of good and evil until after they committed the act.

Now I'm convinced you are a childish idiot, I showed you a few post back that God wouldn't hold Adam to an evil act because he didn't know what evil was. You can argue this stupid stance till you die and it still want be the truth. I'm finished with you and your childish ways. Grow up please.

Yeah, grow up. A story involving talking animals and a magical tree is serious business.

It is obvious that you do not understand what free will is and will never know as long as your god has you under it's thumb. You believe faery tales are real and I am childish?

Adam and Eve is just a stupid misogynistic fairy tale written by people trying to explain their origins, not understanding things like genetics, or the fact that snakes can't talk.

Seriously. Just think about Adam just 'coming into being'. The development of language would have been impossible for him without another human being around.

Adam: Hmmm... what's this thing that's going on with my mouth and my head? How do I know what these things are? Holy shit I'm freaking out here. Freaking out.... FUUUUUUUUCK

Think about when he had kids.

Adam: HOLY SHIT! What's that? Why are they so tiny!? I was never this tiny! YOU WERE NEVER THIS TINY! WHAT ARE THESE THINGS? I was expecting something a little bigger! We'll call him Cain. Okay Cain, go work in the field! Uhh... I don't think he's listening to me.

Eve: Cain, go work the fields with Adam.

Adam: THIS MAN DOES NOT LISTEN! Let's go have another one. Maybe the next one will listen. Cain won't even eat the food I give him.
