I assume the snake man you are talking about is the serpent, Satan in disguise. I've read the Book of Genesis several times and in various bibles and never saw the words 'snake man' used.
God let Eve and Adam use their free-will that He gave them. Just like He let us all use our free-wills. Why would God give Adam and Eve free-wills and then step in and not allow them to use it? It's giving us a brain and the ability to figure things out for ourselves by our experiences, our surrounding and by what others have told us. Why God gave us this terrific brain then not let us use any of it? He would then not love us. He would only have created us to control us like puppets on strings. Giving us no free life, no purpose.

The snake represents desire, and the fruit represents knowledge, and the garden represents purity. Once they were tempted to uncover knowledge, they then knew what evil was, which forced them to see the impurity of the world, symbolized by them getting kicked out of the garden of eden.
Basically it's a story that you shouldn't take literally. Why? Because if you did you would be convinced that knoweldge is bad, and would consequently be buried in ignorance rather than wisdom.

He did notice. He was waiting for Adam to say something like, yo, God, this snake is tempting me, so could you make him stop? The problem was that Adam let the snake go on tempting him.

I don't know. Better yet What was he thinking when he made a tree of Good and Evil in the first place? maybe he was too busy oggling at Eve.

Apparently you do not know God..he is the all knowing all seeing,all creating God...there is nothing that goes on in earth that he does not know before hand.....believe me.Even you he knows you too,your moods,pain,anger,sadness,sins,love,heart,mind,choices,intents good and bad....and your messes. God knew what was going on when Satan first pulled up and the choice that Eve was going to make,and though he put curses on both of them he already made provision to left that curse. Jeremiah 29:11. 'I know the plans I have for you,plans not to harm you,plans to prosper you and give you a hope and a future"......God is true to his word!!!!! Nothing they did then and nothing we do now goes unnoticed by God...Jeremiah 1:4 I knew you before you were formed in your mothers womb...do not trip...God is sovereign.......

Well Eve couldn't really make a decision on her own if God was there continually saying, "don't do it, don't do it". She well knew what God commanded, he didn't need to be there to re-tell her.
Besides, you end up seeing God ask many questions. He asked Adam and Eve what they did. He asked Cain where his brother was. He asked Moses what was in his hand (the staff). Oh and at the conversion of Paul he asks, "Why are you persecuting me?"

"God wants us to love him, be loyal to him, believe in him by our own free will."????
But God is all powerful. He is certainly capable of giving us free will but creating us in a way that we would make the right decisions. Nothing is impossible for God. Unless he made some sort of mistake.
Do you mean to say there is some natural order that God had to follow?

He was watching it happen, because it had to happen.
Adam and Eve had to leave the Garden of Eden because they had to start a family. In the garden, they had no children, and were innocent. Although it was a sin, it had to happen.
"Adam fell that men might be, and ment are, that they might have joy."

Oh, He not only noticed...He put them directly in the snake's path!
God set them up...but let them make their own choice...to correct the mistake cause via Satan long long before...
God knew...God permitted...FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!!

^Yeah seriously. Why did he make this huge tree, with satan right there. Of course god knew that they couldn't handle the temptation beforehand. So then he goes and punishes them. So nowadays, you have non-believers who truly can't believe. And god knows this; he knows their hearts. Then ultimately punishes them for eternity.
