As I said, Adam and Eve were in the state of moral neutrality during their time in Paradise. They did not know what was truly good and what was truly bad, except that they should not eat from the tree specified by God. In a metaphorical sense, Adam and Eve were like children. Adam and Eve had the bodies of adults but the moral sense of 3-year-olds. Adam and Eve had little moral ground and only knew that it was bad to eat from the tree of knowledge. But why would God want to keep Adam and Eve in a state of ignorance? Isn't knowledge a good thing? To me, God seems like the overprotective parent who didn't want his children to know the realities of the world. He probably knew that Adam and Eve would disobey his control if they had the ability to access moral knowledge. This shows that God does not trust others. He had to test Adam and Eve to prove their obedience to him. Adam and Eve's transition can be traced from a 3-year-old to a 17-year-old going through puberty, and God did not want his creations to challenge his control by making Adam and Eve devoid of moral judgment. This is a question that no one can answer except God alone. But one thing that is clear from the Bible is the disappointment God felt when he discovered that Adam and Eve had disobeyed his orders. As we read in Genesis, “Then the Lord God said, 'Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now he might stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life.” (Genesis 3:22). Disobedience is a major factor in God's decision to exile Adam and Eve and punish them
