A good question. Seems to me that the Creator would know his creation better than they know themselves. God had to realize what a temptation the Tree would be for Adam and Eve. Humans are at their best when they have something to struggle against, to overcome. As the Talmud says, without the Yetzer HaRa, the evil inclination which every person has, there could be no virtue, which comes from struggling against our weaknesses.

God gave Adam and Eve brains to choose right from wrong. The devil tempted Eve to eat the fruit from the forbidden tree, Eve ate some and gave some to Adam and by doing this, they disobeyed God. God told them they could have everything else but the fruit from that one tree. God then banished them from the Garden of Eden! When you do something wrong, you need to be punished!

Satan lied & Eve was thoroughly deceived
1Tim 2:14
Many believe the first sin was sexual
You can prove that isn't so ...
It isn't even close, inspired or textual
It really was a TREE...which
represented God's sovereignty
It couldn't be a sexual sin
Why would God comdemn them
for carrying out the Divine mandate
for which He endowed them perfectly!
The simple, clear instruction given was
'Be fruitful and multiply...fill the earth'
Genesis 1:28
The Bible provides details of
the Source of Deception
exonerating the GOD of perfect Love
clearing His Name and spotless reputation,
as He Himself soon will do in a
magnificent display
The death of Adam & Eve was
an act of perfect justice!

I believe they chose to do so on their own, but God knew that they would choose to do so. This then begs the question - if God knew they would choose to eat of the forbidden tree, whyd did He put it there?
God has given humanity free will - the freedom to make our own choices. Adam and Eve had the freedom to choose to obey or disobey God's commands. The tree of knowledge was placed in the garden to given them the opportunity to act on that free will. What good is free will if you are never presented with the choice?
If I said you could choose any food you want, then, only presented you with pizza, is it really a choice?

God did not want Adam and Eve to sin. God knew ahead of time what the results of sin would be. God knew that Adam and Eve would sin, and would thereby bring evil, suffering, and death into the world. Why, then, did God put the tree in the Garden of Eden and allow Satan to tempt Adam and Eve? God put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden to give Adam and Eve a choice. God allowed Satan to tempt Adam and Eve to force them to make the choice. Adam and Eve chose, of their own free wills, to disobey God and eat the forbidden fruit. The result – evil, sin, suffering, sickness, and death have plagued the world ever since. Adam and Eve's decision results in each and every person being born with a sin nature, a tendency to sin. Adam and Eve's decision is what ultimately required Jesus Christ to die on the cross and shed His blood on our behalf. Through faith in Christ, we can be free from sin's consequences, and ultimately free from sin itself. May we echo the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 7:24-25, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God - through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Ummm...what?
But in the end, Adam and Eve are fictionaly characters in a fictionaly story. Humans are born from women, not mud or someone's rib.

It was an accident waiting to happen. If he'd thought it through, it was obvious.
