Did God know ahead of time how it was all going to turn out?
He knows what you are doing tomorrow.
Did he know even before giving Adam and Eve that prohibition?
Yes.
Did he know even before he put the tree there in the first place?
Yes.
Or was God totally taken by surprise?
No.
And now you know that you are faced with their decision on a daily basis.
Yeah, because your God holds grudges for millennia -- including taking
out his hissy fits on people who weren't even there at the time.
Most of us grow up and move beyond that sort of thing.
And God knows your final decision already to boot. Best of luck.
And in the end, back once again in that theological corner you
always seem to end up trapped in, that's the only reason you
can ever come up with: you BETTER go along with my god, boy,
`cause he's the biggest bully around.
You just better hope that he actually is, eh?
