Theoretically And Please Note That I Am Not Religious....God Did Not Want Adam And Eve To Eat From The Tree Of Knowledge Because He Knew That It Would Result In Our Destruction
Really without everything we have today like technology and the negative emotions that Adam and Eve gained from the Tree of Knowledge. There would be no war, no suicide, no addiction or taboo pleasures. We now have jealousy, anger, zealous, which leads us to create guns, torture devices, bombs, etc. God would have seen it all coming, and that would have been his reasoning for telling Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of knowledge

I agree with your description.
If Adam and Eve didn't eat from that tree, we wouldn't have been "enlightened". We wouldn't be able to create computers, or cellphones. We would never indulge for the better. We would love no one else but god. Life would suck.

If that's what happens when you live forever, please, gve me death.

I totally agree. They are the reason the world is the way it is today! But that's why god sent jesus to die on the cross for our sins. So that we would have a chance at making it to heaven! And just bcause some ppl have great knowledge of the bible doesn't mean they are religious. At least some ppl take the time to read it and understand it!

For someone who claims not to be religiously motivated when speaking on this topic, your words sure do seem to indicate the opposite. However, if we’re speaking theoretically and using a literal interpretation of the Biblical story of Adam and Eve, I suppose I would agree with this debating topic (keeping in mind that I do not accept the story as factual).

Truth makes a good point.
God also knew the serpent would do something evil, and yet he created it.

No.

God, was testing Adam and Eve's loyalty to Him.
It was to prove something to Himself.
Of which later, God repented that He had ever made Mankind because their thoughts were only on evil continually; hence the need for the great Flood which wiped out the entire Human populace minus Noah and his family.

Well theoretically speaking I sure glad they ate that apple. Things would be pretty boring if they had not. And consider this, would god really have expected no one to ever eat from that tree given that he supposedly gave us our inquisitive and curious nature?

 If u believe in the bible as thoroughly as some do. then it would state that God is all-knowing, where as he knew everything was going to happen and did it anyway which is kinda sick minded in retrospect. If i create a pitbull trina it to be mean cruel vicious wait for ti to attack someone then slap it on the nose for being unruly. Its the same thing

If god didn't want "Adam and eve" to eat from the tree, why would he create it in the first place?
