How could they have abused their free will in this scenario? Here we have a "perfect creation" that had to include free will, yet could be "corrupted" by two humans choosing the 'wrong' thing. That's where the word "free" comes in, and this god had to have known that. Giving someone a free choice and then punishing them for choosing the wrong option is included in the job description of a tyrant. Double if that person has no knowledge of the ramifications of that choice.
So when children do bad things we're to praise them, no wonder this country's going to hell in a hand basket.

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.
