Evidence, please.
This argument is one of many that make me the atheist today.
God created the forbidden fruit, God created man, God knows by creating man and the forbidden fruit that man will eat said fruit. And yet somehow the blame is entirely mans? Really? no i don't think so. If God created the forbidden fruit and a man who would eat that fruit there is no way the following consequences were not his plan and design if he is also all knowing.
Then, if he doesn't KNOW the future, regardless of how many possibilities, he's not omniscient and, therefore, not omnipotent.The counter-argument I've for that is that God cannot know the future because it is not determined. Therefore God knows all that there is to know - but there is no definite future to know, just possibilities. That's more of an argument to do with omniscience, but I thought it could apply here.
Of course, what that means is that God put the tree down knowing that the possibility of temptation would be there. Why he'd decide to lay down traps for Adam I don't know, especially as they didn't know right from wrong yet - that came from the tree that they weren't allowed to eat from, but they couldn't have understood that to do it was wrong.

Can't Einstein's space fabric be warped enough to take us into a specific future?But there is no future to know. He knows all the potential futures and their likelihood of happpening, because that is all there is.

Your view of good and evil is somewhat restricted.I would accept that as a counter argument. It radically changes God from being the 'all everything', and more like a Zeus or Odin archetype who created humans. This would also mean God is fallible and prone to making mistakes, as seen by telling man not to do something when man knows not of good or evil yes. man would not know he is doing anything wrong.

Do you know what good or evil is? Or who good or evil is?
Good and evil is not defined by opinions.
Please then, define good and evil for us.No. That's a fact!
If good and evil were defined by opinions, then whose opinion would be correct?
welcome to the complicated world called life. Also known as the human condition.No. That's a fact!
If good and evil were defined by opinions, then whose opinion would be correct?
No. That's a fact!
If good and evil were defined by opinions, then whose opinion would be correct?
Because the set definition is ignored, just as it was in the garden.If good and evil have a set definition then why do people's opinions differ on what is good and what is evil?
