Explanation A:
He was bored.
REALLY bored. That's the price of omniscience.
So he, like Mr. Deity, turned off part of his omniscience for a while (He can do that, part of being omnipotent.)
And the garden was a beta test. He ran the game with "free will" for the players and found out that fig leaves make really bad g-strings.
Explanation B:
He doesn't live up to his PR.
He's kind of a powerful bumbler but in no way omniscient or omnipotent.
Built the garden but it's got the obvious flaws. Had to do a hard reset on humanity a couple of times.
Lied to the writers of the Bible to stroke his own ego.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
