The Devil offered Eve the choice to rebel against GOD. Eve did and we now know good from evil.

The Serpent told Eve she would be like God, knowing good and evil.
T Time, this is not just a story, but fact. Jesus Himself refered to Adam and Eve, and said that through Adam sin entered the world. Jesus was called the last Adam, because through Him, Salvation came. T Time, if Jesus thought the story of Adam and Eve was true, maybe you should rethink your position.

did you know Eve had a twin. One was of a Serpent, which is not a snake. Look up serpent. One of the twin is of the devil who is Cain.

He did'nt offer any thing, he told her in Genesis 3:4,5 At this the serpent said to the woman, You positively will not die. verse 5 For God knows that in the very day of your eating from it your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like God, knowing good and bad.

The power of knowledge and free will, in other words, the ability to learn and to choose.
(The story is represented by the serpent and the forbidden fruit - these things were not meant literally.)

None of what I will say will seem logical to a non-believer, that’s just my disclaimer.
Satan in snake form told Eve, that eating from the tree of the knowledge of good & evil would make her like God...That was a lie. What eating from that tree did was disobey God, and cause them to know right from wrong & therefore be accountable for their sins. For those evolutionists like myself (who might I add is a Christian also) is probably the point at which we stopped being as animals and became as humans, having a conscience.
God gave them free will, yes, but he also set rules, as any good parent would. God knew that if they chose not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good or evil that they couldn’t be held accountable for the wrongs they did not know they were committing. By eating of the forbidden fruit they were made aware of their sin. It says in Genesis 3:6-7 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
They saw the wrong they had been doing and immediately felt convicted of it.
Needless to say God was pretty upset that they couldn’t just follow one rule. So the consequence of disobeying God was such: Genesis 3:16—19 16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you."17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."
Now to get to the answer of your question, here is what the Bible says: Genesis 3:20-24 20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.
21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." 23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
God didn't want them to be able to take back, or be able to give themselves forgiveness by taking fruit from the tree of life...(That is why we need Christ) so he banished them. But we are like God in that we can see sin!

I think she got the joy of orgasm, but god made her bleed and have the pain of childbirth, so she kind of got the short end of that stick.
