Jacob(smooth) makes some good points and I would like to add something else. This occurred to me after reading the verses he gave. In the context given the word day does not by necessity mean the same day. So I looked up the word in Hebrew and it can mean the daylight hours of the day which doesn't seem to fit, it also and more often means an unspecified amount of time, such as in the day of Noah. Noah's life spanned many years and to assign a certain day would not fit.
This is the verse from the NASV, Genesis 2:17 but from the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die."
Now to use the meaning as daylight hours would not fit very well, but with the way the story goes the word day (yowm) as an unspecified amount of time fits well.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
