Easy to debunk the story of Adam and Eve

The story of Adam and Eve is very easily debunked. Consider the following. If God is perfect and has always been perfect. And has never had the freedom of choice to be perfect or imperfect. Then why did God make Adam and Eve imperfect and give them the freedom of choice? Why didn't God make Adam and Eve perfect like himself? Making them imperfect and giving them the freedom of choice is not necessary. To create beings to suffer is evil.

I doubt it's intended to be taken literaly. It's just instructive fiction.

@HobNoblin it is taken literally. My parents and other family members take it literally as the truth. I would not consider it to be instructive fiction.

@James25 I think it's to point out and explain truths in the world around us. I don't think there were litteral talking snakes. It's a story to illustrate something.

@HobNoblin but what exactly is it trying to illustrate?

HobNoblin · 36-40, M

@James25 I would say simple facts of life. The book of Proverbs for instance is very instructive. Eclesiastics then almost seems to refute everything. It tells you all is vanity. The entire book is written in a way to make you think which is healthy and good for you.
