God created them IMPERFECT on purpose.
Doing what god tells yo to do is considered "good", not doing what he tells you to do is considered "evil"
God places a delicious looking tree in the very center of his garden (rubbing it in and setting the bait). This tree is the "knowledge of good and evil", which means for Adam and eve to have knowledge of good and evil, they would have to eat of the tree that god commanded them not to eat thereof.
Do you see where I am going with this? How would they know that defying god was "evil" when neither of them had the ability to yet sense what god determine was good and evil?
Then god allows satan into the garden to tempt his innocent creations. Either that or god didnt know. In fact there are more than one verse that has god acting suprised at certain events, such as when Adam hid from the lord and the lord was walking around looking for him.
All in all I say it is some of the worst mythology I have ever read. On a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the best, I barely rate it as a "1".
It was God's plan from the beginning to have Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit. This can be demonstrated by the fact that the bible says that Jesus "was crucified from the foundations of the Earth," that is to say, God planned to crucify Jesus as atonement for sin before he even created human beings or God damned sin.
If God had not intended humans to sin from the beginning, why did he build into the Creation this "solution" for sin? Why create a solution for a problem you do not anticipate?
God knew that the moment he said "don't eat from that tree," the die was cast. The eating was inevitable. Eve was merely following the plan.
What kind of God would plan and execute the murder of his own son when there was absolutely no need to?
Only an insane God. That’s who.
The cornerstone of Christianity is human sacrifice, thus showing it‘s immorality.
