1) God didn't feed them the tree of knowledge of morals. He gave them every other fruit except the remaining two. They had a chance themselves to eat the eternal life fruit. God never said anything about not eating from it. But a+e chose to be deceived into eating the fruit of knowledge of morals.
2) if they had no previous knowledge of morals, how could they value what they know not?
Scripture tell us why they chose to eat, but to your reply.
If as you say, they had no moral basis for their actions, no evil intent, then God had no right to punish them did he?
They could not know that disobeying was wrong.
Right?
Would you punish your child for something that he did while not knowing he should not?
Quote:3) just because I don't agree that man is a better parent doesn't mean I'm not a thinker, it just means I'm not an errant thinker.
If so then let's see if you would do as your God did.
That is, allow his children to die when he had the means to save them.
Would you save them or kill them by denying them the tree of life??
