NO they were not set up.
It was a test and they failed, just as we all fail to do what we know we ought to do.
Each one of us would have blown it, and don't say Adam and Eve must have been stupid- we would have done likewise.
It is foolish to blame God, when we ourselves swim in failure like a goldfish in a pond.
First of all, there was no need to take a test: god already knew the answer, and it is within his power to create beings who would pass the test, and so the entire thing is a setup that way.
Second of all, fair tests aren't weighted heavily against the participants passing them, and in this case the people taking the test literally had no knowledge of either the existence of the test, or the nature of the concepts it explores, by design.
Finally, you're basically saying what we've all been saying: god set up a test he didn't need to give, to set up people he designed to fail it, to set up a grand mechanism to get people to worship him. Shit is a set up from start to finish. You just want to do what christians are trained to do, and flee from the negative consequences of their beliefs.
