for it is well known that when in a sexual heat the male of the species (in this case human species) does not think clearely!

Jeffrey, you must have dissappointing sex if that is only the case. No offence, just jesting
But I digress.

How can you not see that the books of Genesis are closer to a fairy tale than ANYTHING resembling a factual account for the creation of the universe ! Oh, but you must have faith to truly understand.. Faith in what? If I had just started reading the OT and this is some of the first gibberish I came across, it is a disaster. The fallacies and contradictions in the fairy tale are glaring to even a third grader. Only mental masterbation and the trump card of the all encompassing GOD argument can provide the faithful with a modicum of rationaization about their righteousness in the story. Face it, the fairy tale is not the TRUE story of creation. Unfortunately, we don't have a true/provable story of creation, but I refuse to accept this concoction of a butchered excuse for literature....

This is hilarious!! I mean, religious people are getting contradictions ever since the science started explaining all things to us...

You asked the question :
When did God ever tell the woman not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

Here is the answer :
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

God Almighty created the human race through incest. If there were two original parents, then 1) Adam had sex with his female children, 2) Eve had sex with her male children, or 3) the children of Adam and Eve had sex with each other. No wonder there are so many idiots who believe in a "holy book" that celebrates God and His ways.

If God was omnipotent, how could he lovingly look into the future, see that Satan was an abomination to create, then cheerfully proceed to create not only satan, but sinners, & a hell to throw them into for what he already knew they were going to do?

Also, if Mathew 5:14 is impossible to obey because of how God creates us, why does he demand we be perfect if it isn't possible to be so? Isn't that just begging for someone to disobey, well, ok, sin?

God causes us to sin by creating us into sin, shaping us into iniquity, & God is the one who shapes us in the womb. Remember, God is in control of if you live or die, & remember that King David was NOT punished for his crime of adultery with another man's wife, but rather, God slew the innocent baby that had done no wrong, while allowing David to got scot free just because he prayed & repented of it.

The Bible never mentions where David was further punished, but that baby never got to live his life. What would we do if our criminal courts killed not the one doing the wrong, but the relative or family of the one that did the wrong, while wrong doers got away?

Is this justice?

In Genesis we see a trend which suggests that a man named Moses
could interpet the meaning of creation.This in the bible is a mis-
interpetation.
Man and woman were created by God along with the beast of the feild
but man was given the mind to be influenced.Just like we can train certain animals,sprits train us to behave in certain ways.God did
not produce the tree of Good and Evil,nor did he produce the tree
of knowledge and inmortality.
God designed the world,to be a testing ground for his worshipers.
Notice how Jesus was tempted,Satan revealed the kingdom of this
world,and said"bow down and worship me and I will give you the
kingdoms of this world".
How could he give something he did not create unless God gave him
ownership.Adam and Eve are a figment of the authors imagination.
God had already set in motion that man would be evil,to please his
own folly.When he became sick of his mistake he destroyed his own
works.
We make the mistakes of believing that Adam and Eve were perfect.
No they were not perfect.They were a small part of the basic mode
of creation that God planed.Most people do not realize that Satan
is not the only angel God put on this world.God has many more that
have laid claim to mankind.these beings are the ones that cause
strife between the races of men,
They take the form of Gods in many other names.And God delights in
confrontations whit them.
We are mere puppets in the grand game and have little knowledge of
the true meaning of life.Adam and Eve did not create sin,by eating
a furit,Moses dreamed up that lie to comdend mankind.Good and evil
were created by God and he is in charge.
Nothing is of limits to him.He controls this world and what we do.
We are a product of his creation and we suffer only as Job suffered
to prove a point.
God did not have a garden of eden,just like he did not have a promised land for the Jews.If he had one why would they have to walk.he parted the Red Sea,so what was the motive of people in the
desert walking.And why kill off them for 40 years until a new generation came.
No I do not believe the bible is correct,just another man's view
of the words spoken and then changed to convense certain people to
believe in a religion not a God.
God to me is not in words,his power is far beyond what I or you
could write about him.If you really want to worship him then follow
the Ten Commands which were not nailed to the cross,but were written on the spirit of those who believe before they were even
born.
Notice Revelations 14:12 in keeping the commandments of God.Only
those whom the Lord has chosen can do this.Man can not of his own accord have salvation.

Gen 3:8
Since you are arguing your point from a Biblical perspective I can answer it from that same view point.
If God can create the Universe and all that which is within it, is not possible than that as God he could manifest himself into human form? Would this be outside of the supernatural abilities of a Supreme being? I personally do not think so. God intended to dwell with us and walking within his own creation would be quite understandable.
God also manifested Himself in certain places through certain things, such as a burning bush ( Ex. 3 ), the pillar of fire ( Ex. 13:21 ), smoke in the temple ( Isa. 6 ), and so forth. It is within this latter localized sense that one could go or hide “from the presence of the Lord.”

3:7 God did not lie, they did die.

Refer to my previous post on Gen 3:6

3:6 If God was true to his word, they should be dead, right?

Aren't they?

The Hebrew word for “day” here which is Yom, does not always mean a 24-hour day. In this case, or verse, the Word Yom would mean an age or length of time measured in a period of history since it is not preceded by an ordinal number such as in Genesis 1:5 in where it means a 24 hour day. Yom in this verse is not qualified with a number or the phrases ‘evening and/or morning,’ and represents a period of time.
