Context: I sometimes hear the argument that god explicitly told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit, the same way a parent tells its child not to stick things or touch electrical outlets. So god forcing the two of them to have children and dooming every human ever since is perfectly justified.

    Actually it a bit worse. It’s like patents also sending someone to coerce kids into fiddling the outlets with promise of an intellectual reward.

      Also the consequences that “doomed the race” were the god’s response to noticing they had eaten the fruit, not from the fruit itself.
