The Garden of Eden

The Garden of Eden
Question for theists:

If the Garden of Eden was a perfect paradise as Xians claim, then why did Eve want to eat the apple?  Wouldn't a perfect place provide everything a person would want or desire and thus she would want nothing?

It doesn't make sense for Christians to hold the Garden of Eden as some kind of ideal, the Garden was never meant for lowly Christian types, they never belonged there, they didn't come from there.

And yet, it you read the end of the book, the whole point of existence is to get back to there.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Yeah, it'll be reclaimed, but not by any Christians. Some never left the Garden at all.
