Then how did the serpent get in? Sneak in maybe, when God wasn't paying attention?
Not all serpents. Just that particular one which can talk and is intelligent and evil.
I think this situation is acceptable.
Theologically, this event took place by the design of God.
Not to get off-topic, but...
Are you saying it was God's design that Adam and Eve would disobey?
I'd love to hear an explanation, but it needs to be in a different forum.

Sure you do every time you proclaim or praise the falsehood that mindless nature evolved God's superior intelligence in prehistoric people
Your cannot repeat this magic, nor can you tell us the process by which it happens. Neither can you explain WHY prehistoric people showed the traits of any other animal UNTIL the Ark arrived 11k years ago.
Human superior intelligence can NOT be shown in ANY other animal because intelligence does NOT evolve.
We inherited it from Adam who was made with the ability to know both good and evil, like God. Genesis 3:22

Yeah.... another one of his brilliant ideas.
Create some paradise garden with 2 blank slate souls that must obbey and then also allow the very embodiment of evil in there, free to manipulate the blank slates. What could go wrong, ey?
Yes, it went wrong.
The thing you do not understand is: all these are only done for the ultimate benefit of human. Adam is made very well, but Adam is not made perfect.
Acknowledging the evidence of reality, is not the same as "praising".
Indeed, I can not explain your fantasies.
I can only point them out.
That's also demonstrably false.
Your superiority complex is showing.
And who was brought here on some space ship or whatever.
He loves us so. That's why he makes us suffer in the most gruesome ways and sends vague messages that cost the lives of millions in religious wars. But don't worry, he has a "plan".
You have again failed to show us the process by which mindless nature and powerless evolution placed God's intelligence level into Apes.
The fantasy is your's UNLESS you can tell us WHY prehistoric people remained exactly the same as they have been for Millions of years BEFORE the Ark arrived 11,000 years ago. History proves the false ToE to be unsupportable.
Of course I am. I'm a Human being destined to rule when Jesus returns. ONLY Trump and evolutionists preach that Humans are animals. It's their way of de-humanizing people in order to treat them like animals. All despots do the same.
LOL. The image on my posts was designed by an Atheist. His name is Niccto and your criticism is of a fellow atheist and not my view. Since Adam's firmament was under water Gen 1:6-7 the image is totally false but allows people to understand the desperate nature of evolutionists who are prohibited from true understanding.
God didn't sin, man did.
It's man that's sick
and God is still working to make His creation perfect.
It will only take 6 Days so quit whining since we brought our suffering upon ourselves. Reminds me of Adam who blamed his wife for his disobedience. Be a man and take the responsibility yourself.
I disagree.
I think that, in this story, that god is guilty by association. The whole Eden story, what with the serpent and the "forbidden tree", with 2 blank slate souls that don't know right from wrong, reads like a giant trap. It's a rigged setup.
Yep. Like the Hitch said: "Created sick and commanded to be well".
An all powerfull, omnibenevolent, perfect and all-intelligent being could make it perfect on the first try and would require starting over multiple times after a massive genocide.
The whole book reads like a giant collection of failures on his part.
It's an allegorical story to explain human sinfulness. The serpent most likely represents Satan.
Yeah.... another one of his brilliant ideas.
