Omniscient Yaweh has a very poor understanding of cause and effect in Genesis.

It's not the Tree of Knowledge as many people think, it's the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Meaning that yes, he told Adam and Eve not to eat that fruit, but he also didn't give them the capacity to learn right from wrong, so why would they do what he said?

I love this detail. It's one of my favorite go-tos for the OT.
