If they were smart, why did they disobey god knowing the consequences? If they were dumb, why did god make such stupid people?

If they were perfect and/or very intelligent, why would they do something as silly as eat fruit from a tree knowing they would be caught? Someone who is perfect would have no need to do that, someone who is intelligent would recognize that is was a bad thing to do. Sounds very contradictory to me.

How the F can they have been PERFECT if they sinned?? Sure, smart people make mistakes - but PERFECT THINGS do not. If they do, they are not perfect. PERIOD.
Christ, the way you people rationalize this shyte boggles the mind.....

They were probably retards. Adam was really gay and Eve had a gynalogical disorder which caused her to urinate crooked. Adam was shooting blanks so they couldnt have kids. Adam then attended a strip club and got drunk and impregnated a parrot. The parrot then gave birth to people with different coloured skin. These people were all more intellegint than the inferior adam-eve race and gradually populated the earth. The adam/eve race died out eventually consisting of only two members who were both gay. We are all really descendants of a parrot and a drunk gay.
Am I retaded?

Several things could have occured. No I don't believe in them but if they did exist here is what could have occured:
1. They were beyond geniuses because the amount of inbreeding that occured in order to make us would be huge.
2. They were entirely ignorant to the world.
3. They were too innocent to understand anyone and when the snake tempted Eve since she has trusted the previous disembodied voice that told her to do stuff she trusted this one.
4. They did not understand evil since it had never been shown to them previously and should have been forgiven by god since he is omnipotent and would know it was his mistake for not informing them of evil or teaching them of evil. Unless of course that was his plan and he himself is an evil god.

If G-d was smart, why did he give mankind free will, when He already knew, from giving the highest angels free will, that disobedience could result (Lucifer)?
Further, why did G-d place the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in a location accessible to mankind, if he did not want them to access it?

They ate of the apple of science. When they did, there was no turning back. Some of us have no choice at this point. But I firmly think, science led to plant propogation and domestication of animals, armies, city states, organized religion and so forth. It made some bifurcated from the earth..........

You are asking for a comparison of apples and oranges here (i.e., sin and intelligence).
Adam and Eve were humans with free will. They sinned (as humans are wont to do). Their decision to sin had nothing to do with intelligence.

Are you dumb? They were disobedient. They disobeyed because they were selfish. Eve because she thought god wasn't giving her everything. Adam because he wanted Eve. Never mind the fact god could've made him a different woman.We all have our moments of stupidity. We all sin.

They are as smart as us. If a voice told us not to do something I bet you some hard-head would do it :/

They'll say they were perfect, but then say they disobeyed. That means disobeying is ok because a perfect being did it.
