I just can\'t understand why an all-knowing god wouldn\'t foresee that curiosity would eventually take over. And if he did know it would come, why did he even create the garden in the first place? If he knew they would be kicked out it seems as if it was meant to torture them with the idea life could be so much better. I\'m sorry if this offends anyone, but I would appreciate an explanation if I am to believe the story.[/quote] Of course God knew we would fall. That was His plan. If a being doesnt have a choice to love, then he doesnt really love. For example, If I had a wife that had no other choice but to be with me, it would be useless. Now, if my wife looked around at all the possibilities, and picked me out of everyone, boy would I feel loved. Thats what kind of situation God has set up.
