It is because God, in his infinate wisdom, knew that Adam was in denial of what he had done, was blaming Eve for his sin and what he had done and needed to confess and show himself vulnerable (naked) and personally responsible to God in the midst of his sin. God pursued Adam and disarmed Adam and arrested Adam with the simple question: Adam where are you. Not in what place but in what condition you are. Is this all you have obtained by eating the fruit? This mode of questioning is a gracious pursuit of God in kindness to bring about Adam’s recovery.
This is why it is important to confess to God AND/OR OTHERS our wrong doing. There is something about getting out of denial, stop blaming others, being real and speaking the truth with our own mouth that will set us free. It is a remarkable tool to recovery.
Do you agree?

KALIKO- I wholeheartedly agree! Well said and beautifully written. This is a wonderful and powerful lesson on owning up to what we do and asking for forgiveness.

I would agree if God of Genesis is Omniscient.
However Noah Flood disprove that God is not Omniscient. Otherwise, God should had cut Adam's private part not to have off spring and not flood.

I agree completely.
God created man and discovered man had turned himself into a weasle.
God threw the weasles out of his garden, after all, who wants a weasle in their garden!

Or, it could just be that in the original mythology, God really didn't know where Adam was.
