Why the whole Adam and Eve Fall story makes no sense

[robvalue]

I agree. It's absolutely absurd, any way you look at it.

The most stupid thing is how god judged them for eating from the tree, when they didn't have the knowledge of what it meant to be evil (disobey god) until they ate from the tree. It's like telling your young kid not to "increase in altitude", without explaining it. He has no idea what that means, and he starts walking up the stairs. Then you tell him what it actually meant, and punish him forever for this mistake. And punish all his children he will have in the future.

If people want to worship a creature like that, I'd hate to think what they would imagine an evil god would be like.
