Ah! The old get-out-of-theology "free will" card. So God planted a tree in the garden knowing that Adam would use his free will and eat off that tree. Yet God was not around to stop Adam. God did not take Adam aside and say, "Psst, that serpent over there just deceived Eve and here she comes with that good looking fruit." Adam had a "free will" choice of being obedient or disobedient and he chose to be disobedient? Is that how you construe "free will"? We sit and try to decide whether to be disobedient?

If you took a 2 year old and put her next to a delicious plate of cookies and told her not to touch, do you think she will sit there and ponder the consequences?
