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.

So why did she not know it was a wrong thing to break the rule UNTIL she did it? How can she obey god's word when she does not know that his words are the 'good' ones in this scenario to begin with? Okay, lets say your loophole holds an argument. It doesn't, but lets say it does. She broke a 'rule'. Thats not good or evil, according to your loophole. Okay, who CONVINCED her to eat the fruit? The serpent. The serpent IS evil in this fairytale. She listens to the serpent and eats the fruit. WHY? Because she has no knowledge of the differences of good and evil! How is she supposed to know that this serpent is evil? She can't! And why did god punish them for doing something that an evil being who they could not have known was evil because god did not give them such knowledge, convinced them to do it? And why was that serpent even there? WOW I cannot believe that people fall for this idiotic bullshit.

On a side note, how ironic is it that it was a WOMAN who damned the entire human race? Good ol' religion.
