    Despite 100% foresight, he put it there. Didn’t have to, but wanted to.

    God is the creator and origin of sin, suffering, and damnation by choice and design. If there were anything real about it, he would clearly be the evil one and has the world fooled.

      I think the implication of what you’re saying is that it’s inherently evil to provide “wrong” options along with free will. It’s an interesting point to think about.

      At any rate, it certainly seems like a god should have been able to avoid this humanity-altering misunderstanding if he didn’t want it to happen.
