I have no idea got from the OP to 144, so rather than sift through 26 pages of one liners I'll just answer the OP.
2-Did God not know? If God is referencing the Christian Omnimax God, then yes he knew.
3-How did the 'talking snake' get into the garden? I assumed (referencing the verse above) that he walked there
4-Was god not watching? see 2
5- Eve had no chance. So this must have been a setup from the get go.
I believe Eve did have a chance, and I call that chance a choice (free will). She was not force fed the apple, so she had a choice, shich is a chance.

This god must have known the 'talking snake' was more powerful than Eve and that Eve had no chance. So this must have been a setup from the get go.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
