Adam and Eve Saved the Environment

[Tonus]

There was only one deviation they had to avoid, no other rules were given to them. One would think that when God came and they were hiding, one would see they knew they had messed up and lost all they had, one would think that any how. Unless one desires to ignore their actions or close there eyes to the real story.

My point was that they did not know good from evil; they were not expected to obey for any other reason than that they had been ordered to obey. When did Eve find the fruit of the tree to be desirable? When the serpent told her that she would suffer no ill consequences from eating it. She was not conditioned to understand why a course of action was right or wrong, so when the serpent implied that she could eat the fruit without worry she could not have seen it as an unwise course of action.

They did not realize they had messed up until after their eyes were opened to the understanding of right and wrong, which apparently was only possible if they ate from the fruit. So they were designed to be obedient automatons unless they ate from the fruit, which would automatically do two things: first, it would allow them to understand right from wrong. Second, it would condemn them to death. Nasty, nasty fellow, that Yahweh.
