Could someone bribe you with an apple to commit murder if you knew perfectly well that your were going to get caught and viciously killed for it? If you knew perfectly that there was no chance whatsoever that you could avoid the resultant fate? This is not a "likely get caught scenario, this is a 100% pure choice. What balanced in the favor of eating the fruit in Adam's mind? What could have been so worth it if he knew full well the full and complete consequences?People do insane things. I've heard many atheists say that they wouldn't worship the god of the Bible even if given sufficient evidence of his existence. I believe them. Would that be insane?
Personally, I think Adam went along because he was afraid to be separated from Eve.
Quote:Secondly, the "sense of right and wrong" includes understanding what is right and wrong according to your own interests. You have to know whether or not it is right or wrong to act in your best interest or someone else's.Nice stretch.
