You surely lack in any understanding of the Genesis account, sad, very sad.

So, god didn't:
Put the Tree of Knowledge in an easy-to-reach place?
Do a piss poor job of explaining why it should be avoided?
Create the serpent who tempted Eve?
Decided the only fit punishment wasn't just to exile Adam and Eve, but curse the entire species?
Face it, it's an idiotic story, one which only highlights how juvenile the myth is. Any person with a brain knows to put things out of reach of children, which is what Adam and Eve essentially were in their naivety. The supreme being really aught to have had the foresight to not put his precious Tree of Knowledge in the same room as them if it was so important.
