If God created Eden, and God created the tree of Knowledge, and God created Eve with curiosity, and God created the snake, and God allowed the snake to enter the Garden, then why is mankind to blame for original sin? Isn't God guilty of entrapment?

• Why would an all-knowing being need to create tests?
  Wouldn't it know the outcome even before the test begins?

• why question why?
  it is not in your perogative to question things greater than you.
  this is another circuitous argument.

• Dr James, you really need to read what you just wrote a few times.
  It sounds like something right out of Orwell's 1984.
  Do not ask why.
  Do not question things.
  Big brother is greater than you.
  Do not question big brothers judgment.
  Follow without question.
  Is that really the concept of God that you worship?

• NoTa LoKa: an all-knowing, all-powerful god has no need to "test our trust and noblage to him". he knows exactly who and what you are, what you think, what you'll do next or fifty years from now. i've heard such comments made often and with such sincerity by people who are certain of god's omnipotence, yet don't see the lack of logic in such a statement.
  
  dr. james: "god is just and fair"? how "just and fair" is it to make two innocent (in terms of their worldliness) people responsible for the sinful state of the people who come after them?

• It says in the bible that God does not try anyone. So why would be put it there to test? Also, if God knows what is going to happen already then obviously he does not need to test. He already knows the human heart. So, your answer doesn't really make sense.
