Answer:
One thought:
GOD SAID TO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING that's on earth AND NOT EAT EITHER BUT ADAM ATE AN APPLE because the devil convinced Adam and eve to eat it so god made Adam and eve choke on the apple and that's also why we have Adams apples, but my point is because they ate when they were told not too! those were notty children!
Another thought:
At Genesis 2:15-17, the Bible tells us that God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in perfect condition, with clear direction and only one restriction. They were to:
-Cultivate and care for the garden
-Eat vegetation and any fruit that grew on the trees
-NOT eat from only ONE specific tree (the 'tree of the knowledge of Good and Bad')
This restriction had a purpose.
Humans were created to be in subjection to God and look to him for direction(Jeremiah 10:23). The "Tree of Knowledge" represented God's sovereignty (his RIGHT to rule...to make the rules for his creation for their own good). Having it in the middle of the Garden was:
-a reminder of his rulership
-constant assurance of God's love and care for his creation and
-a way for mankind to say 'thankyou' to their creator, for all he'd given them, by giving to God something that he didn't automatically have...their obedience. (Micah 6:8)(Matthew 7:21).
When Adam and Eve ate from that ONE restricted tree, they were actually rejecting God's rulership, in favor of what they thought was their OWN. Satan had promised them that if they ate from this tree, they would benefit from deciding right and wrong for themselves(Genesis 3:1-6). This was a lie, as mankind was never created to live independently of God. Adam and Eve's disobedience, took away their perfection, their everlasting life in their earthly paradise home(Genesis 1:28), and basically switched their allegiance from the Creator, to Satan(Romans 6:16), to whom they were now listening(John 8:44). In so doing, 'imperfection' eventually caused Adam to die (Genesis 5:5), and was introduced into all human descendants of Adam causing sickness and death and all the problems we face today(Genesis 3:17-19)(Romans 5:12).
