Gen 2:17 tells of God warning Adam that if he eats of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, "on that day" Adam will die (not that Adam would be condemned to die eventually, but that "on that day you will surely die"). Yet Adam lives on to the age of 930.
Do you think, perhaps, that after witnessing God's 'wisdom' in Gen 2:18-20 where God tries to convince Adam to choose an animal for a mate, Adam figured God's 'wisdom' about the Tree was just as shaky?
Wasn't refusing God's offering of animals for mates the first time Adam chose not to trust in God's wisdom? Is original sin the result of Adam not trusting God because God offered him animals for mates and not another human?
