Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve

 
Adam and Eve have always puzzled me a little.

1. They were perfect.

2. It was only through the eating of the forbidden fruit and the subsequent curse that they came under sin – that is, became imperfect.

3. Perfect beings do not do imperfect things.

4. In short, if they really were perfect, they could not have been tempted to eat the forbidden fruit until after they had eaten it.

All the talk about free will does nothing to help this illogical story. Perfect beings don't do imperfect things. They are not even tempted to.
