An argument against Adam and Eve

Thats the flaw. They did not have the knowledge to tell the difference between right and wrong, so despite the threats, how were they to know that it was still the right side? Lets say you tell a toddler to not touch a hot stove for the first time, because it will burn him. This toddler probably does not understand the consequences. Then someone comes along and tells him to touch it. He touches it and he is burned, knowing now to stay clear. despite what the person who fooled him before says. He NOW knows that it is wrong to do such a thing. Instead, you throw him out your house for disobeying you. That doesn't sound too...parent-like, to me at least.

A toddler is going to touch stuff anyway because he hasn't the capacity yet to put into practice what he's told, unlike an adult. These are not toddlers, they are fully developed human beings, minus the knowledge of good and evil.

Taking the fruit isn't good or evil, and having taken the fruit and eating it doesn't make them do good or evil... they just have the knowledge of what it is. They were banished for breaking a rule, not doing good or evil.

So your premise is still failing.
