"IF" God made theTree and the Fruit..., he was like throwing poison in the Garden and "HIS" Children ate it!
They didn't KNOW GOOD FROM EVIL!!!
So...in a sense it's "HIS" Fault!
Think about it this way: Would you leave a fully loaded .45ACP sitting on the Kitchen Table? With a bunch of 5 Year old Children running around naked in the House?
You can tell the Kids a MILLION TIMES not to touch the Gun! What are the chances of the Children NOT to Fondle the Trigger!
So it's the PARENTS RESPONSEBILITY, not the Childrens!
But...NAAAHHHWW!
It's GOD! HE'S KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING!
Ya' right!
Klick....BLAAMMMMM!!!.....Thud...
OMG!!! WHO THE FUNK LEFT THE LOADED GUN LYING AROUND????
Sorry, x-tians! It makes DICK FOR SENSE!
As a responsible Parent it is MY DUTY to make sure the Kids don't blow their Brains out, so I make SURE there are no loaded Guns in easy Access for the Kids!
Is God exempt from Common Sense? Not in MY Book! He oughta get the CHAIR FOR THAT!

It's symbolic. Take the example of nuclear technology. Our knowledge of it lets up make energy, it also let's us destroy the world. Knowledge means we leave our mother and father and go our own way, only to return after many trials and tribulations
We were meant to eat that tree, Jesus himself said we should know the difference between good and evil. It's a symbol and God obviously knew we would eat it, since he has foreknowledge

God's right to rule. He is the creator. They had all that the garden had to offer. Only one restriction, not to eat from the tree of knowledge.
God's right to rule!

You'll get a chance to tell him that. You should think about what you will say to him when he asks you what you did with what you heard about Jesus Christ, his son.

Maybe he was waiting for them to mature, they weren't that old.
