an imperfect life.
Why didn't God give the rest of the people a chance to pick or not to pick the fruit of knowledge of good and evil?

Also since we are not perfect how can we not sin and trust in god and do all these things without being perfect?

God tested them, and they didn't turn out right so he tests us, and we have the power to do what w want with our lives. King of like the cause and effect stance on life. Because you were good, you are in heaven. Opposite if not. Well, this is the way it is, best is to just let go and now we have to deal with it to the best of our abilities.

If you make a cake in a pan that has a dent in it, the cake will have a dent. As many cakes as you bake in that tin will have dents. We inherited Adam's faulty DNA or chromosome more likely. Isn't it interesting that the chromosome that is responsible for death is inherited by our father, not our mothers? The rest of the people didn't stand a chance, although those who were closely related to Adam and Eve did live like 600 years or so. The farther away we got from perfection, the least amount of time we had on the planet.

Why do frogs not have wings?
Why does toast always land butter side down?
They all have the same answer.
GOD has provided a very simple way for us to came back to our natural state and fellowship with him. All we have to do is decide to stop sinning and believe in Christ finished work on the cross. You would think we could manage that but we can't. We want to be gods ourselves. The questions you ask are ways that we use to try to feel better about our sin. We get an answer we like and then tomorrow we feel bad again.

Actually the story of Adam and Eve has a deep symbolic meaning, which is the beginning of "duality". Male and female, God and Man, paradise and the "world", good and evil, it is not meant to be taken literally.

He IS giving everyone the chance to accept that 'fruit', in the form of Yeshua (Jesus Christ).
Now, it is up to Us, individually to either accept Yahweh's Divine Holy Word given to us through Yeshua and thus eternal life; or reject Him and accept His Divine punishment. THAT is how we are being given our "tree of Knowledge of good and evil".

It's a result of free will... the only ones who were born without original sin were Mary and Jesus.

God decides that. Someone else would have taken an apple from that tree. God knew it. We still have our free will though, and that is good. He could have made us robots.

Mary was born without sin? I've never seen that in any Bible.

What Sarah K said, but without the 'Mary' part...
Mary was merely a woman...
