You would have to be completely stupid to eat from the tree and Adam and Eve were perfect

They also did not know "defiance" of God
It simply would not happen

You are seeking rational answers from irrational people. They will make any excuse to say that Adam was wrong for doing what he did but it was their god's will that it happen that way even though their god did not know or intend for it to happen that way. I think it's better to ask them what happened to Adam's first wife, Lillith, and why the christian bible writes her out when she was such a crucial part of the original creation story as told in the Tanakh (that's the original version of the OT that the Jews used, without the christian rewrites). Most of them aren't even aware she existed, let alone that she was created at the same time as Adam and was not subordinate to him.

I answered this question you asked 2 questions back in the fullest way. but I will cut and paste it here for other peoples benefit.
Eve wanted something she was not allowed to have. The serpent deceived her. The serpent said that God was lying and was hiding something good from her. Satan told her she would become like God in knowing good and bad that was something that Satan made very appealing to her.
Adam and Eve didn't know about tricks they were innocent as nobody before had ever lied to them and the serpent was cunning. We know how cunning Satan is because he has billions today doing his will (2 Cor 4:4).
But Eve didn't heed the warning given by God. Eve made a choice - a selfish decision and Adam when he discovered what Eve had done he also disobeyed and Adam was not tricked because Eve had disobeyed he ate from the fruit knowing full well the consequences.
Just as Satan was once a righteous angel and became the father of the lie - Adam too joined in wilful disobedience.
Adam did know disobedience that is why God warned him in the first place.
I believe that this story is fact as Jesus came to the earth because of the first prophesy written directly after Adam disobeyed in God spoke to Satan with these prophetic words in Genesis 3:15
"And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.” - Genesis 3:15
This was the prophesy of the coming of Jesus Christ and him temporarily dying [bruise in the heel] and also the destruction of Satan [bruise in the head]. This prophesy in Genesis 3:15 set the theme of the entire Bible. To undo what Satan had caused mankind on earth
Jesus is called the last Adam the last perfect human born since Adam and Eve who instead of bringing death to mankind he brought eternal life.
1 Corinthians 15:45
It is even so written: “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:22
For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive.
But I have a feeling you don't want to understand anyway so it makes little difference what is said. You spend too much time trying to rubbish the Bible but it shows lack of character and gross lack of understanding of what you are attempting to trivialize. The Bible is used by historians and archaeologists for source information. Many historical people even cities that one time or another have had accussers saying they never existed have been proven wrong. The Bible is accurate and not proven by anyone to be wrong.
The Bible is books and letters describing civilizations, cultures, customs, royalty, politicians, cities, lands and took 1500 years in completing and written by 40 God inspired authors. The Bible has knowledge unknown to humans such as diseases prevention, quarantine, and even describes the earth hanging on nothingness - a far cry to the common belief at the time and even describes the water cycle.
The bible has not been known to be wrong in anything only rather some people who have blind insistence it is - though it is never based on factual knowledge.

One of the things you miss in the Adam and Eve story is they had Pride. What did the scripture say: she saw that the fruit was good for food; good to look at; and design to make one wise and then she ate. The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life is not of God but of the world.
If we were back there then we would do the same thing. Why, because of pride. IT IS ALL ABOUT ME!!!!!!

Okay, but can you imagine having the taste buds of a catfish. They're actually located pretty much over it's entire body and help it track down any food that's with in range. They are, however, heavily concentrated in the whiskers. And I've never seen an earthworm jump.
