God made the Garden-of-Eden very good (not perfect), but made it even better by introducing free-will. God knows that it's better to have free-will with sin and evil, than no free-will with evil. Remember, any discomfort of hell is self-imposed by declaring independence from God (People should at least know that His nature is 'good' to an infinity degree).
Ah, but evolution and genetic research have clearly proved that there was no Garden of Eden. There was not, (and could not possibly have been) a single "Adam and Eve". There was no original sin. And there is no proof that hell exists. And, as we know, there is no proof that god exists. - A supposedly omnipotent, omniscient being who can't even prove his own existence - in an age when a 7-year-old on YouTube can get a message all the way around the world.
"If the universe had a beginning then the cause of beginning must lie outside of the universe" - - that's just absurd. Another "I don't know, so therefore "god" ignorant assumption.
It get's even more interesting when you look up the Sumerian "Adamu" and the garden of E.DIN.
Genesis is an abridged version of an older story.
