What he did was make it possible for them to sin, not by the tired old Christian excuse of 'free will', but by placing temptation in their path and not making the consequences clear to them. How could Adam and Eve have any realistic concept of what death entailed? Neither of them had seen a person die or suffer or go without.
I guess the other important question is why? Why did god place the tree in the garden? Actually, why did there even need to be a tree like that in the first place, if nobody was allowed to eat the fruit? What possible reason could there be for something like that to exist?
Does that tree propagate? Would there eventually be a whole garden full of forbidden trees? Or is it just a magic tree that sits there, solely to tempt Adam and Eve, and for no other purpose?
