FIRST: The story's a mythical metaphor! Even the early Jews & Christians knew that! The story makes far better sense as a metaphor because....taken literally....it not only contradicts science, it makes no sense and makes God look like an idiot.
SECOND: Eve (and Adam) had the ethical understanding of an infant and could not understand concepts like Good, Evil or Disobedience.
THIRD: A talking snake talked her into it.
FOURTH: The fruit's mojo didn't really start taking effect until both Adam & Eve nommed on it.
FIFTH: Adam was with her the whole time. He could have said "No way, lady!" but no, he went "D'aaahh, okay!" like a big dope.
SIXTH: BibleGod was a big dummy for putting that tree in the garden to begin with.
SEVENTH: Assuming you're Christian, Jesus' death on the cross would've nullified the curse on Eve. Jesus respected women as equals, as did the 1-2 Century Church....hence the large amount of converts from women and the fact that he appeared to Mary Magdalene first after his Resurrection.
EIGHTH: Deborah in the Hebrew Testament would mop the floor with you and the lovely Jael would skewer your head with a tent peg. Judith would finish the job by going all "DAESH" on you with a big knife and the savvy business woman of Proverbs would pay for the knife, tent peg, clean up and linens! Esther would set the whole shebang up.
NINTH: Related to "FIRST"; The "Adam & Eve" myth means this: Early Humans started off like lower animals, not understanding concepts like "Right & Wrong", "Good & Evil", Morality or Ethics. They would not be morally culpable in any stupid thing they would do. However; Humanity later developed the ability to know these concepts BUT chose to revel in doing "Wrong/Evil/Bad", anyway. Therefore, the concept of "Karmic Debt" or "Sin" was born.
TENTH: Deity is not just Male. Deity is Female, too. "Thus Man (humanity) was made in God's Image. In the Image of God He made them. Male AND Female created He, them.". If humans of both genders & sexes are both in The Supreme's Image, that means The Elohim is "MOM & DAD" in one! Why de-value half of the Divine?
