Gen 1: 15
The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;
17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

It sounds like God wanted some slave labor to work the garden. Why was this particular tree so bad? And if knowledge of evil is bad, why is it where Adam and Eve could accidentally eat it? What if the fruit fell off and rolled over to the base of the apple tree? And God knows what a nit-wit twerp the serpent is, so why doesn't he keep him out? It's like blaming the older brother you leave in charge of the younger kids. That only goes so far into obviating parental responsibility.

If I leave an electric turkey carver in my baby's crib, who is responsible for the injury to the baby? Me, the baby's older brother or the baby?
