Of course A&E had an awareness of death and right and wrong at their creation, they had a language placed in them and a whole realm of knowledge in place too, otherwise they would be totally dysfunctional.
Animals have knowledge in them intrinsically from birth.
It is no great feat for God to do the same for Adam.
You think you would fare better than Adam?
Nobody has so far. Except the God Man Jesus, and we aint Him.
Actually I do not recall a biblical doctrine of "Original sin" as if it is some albatross hanging around our necks.
It does say, "In Adam all die but it also says in Christ all are made alive".

Genesis 3:22-23 Wrote:And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.The word "now" indicates that this is something new—something that wasn't so before but is so now. I did not write this book. It's not me you are disagreeing with nor is it me that you are accusing of stupidity.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
