“… you are dealing with somebody who has the sort of mentality which likes leaving hats on pavements with bricks under them…” - Douglas Adams
Scientists like to know, if god designed a brain with a want for sugar, why would he ask Adam and Steve to stay away from the apple tree? An all-knowing god would've modified the reward pathway for sugar craving in the dorsal striatum of their brain instead of going through banishment paperwork and other unnecessary bureaucratic hassles. It’s sad that, apart from being petty, god put the couple in such a nightmarishly metaphorical dilemma, knowing fully well that they were hungry and clueless and that they hadn’t taken classes in figures of speech. Getting all worked up about some apples and asking them to leave sounds like somebody with serious anger issues and in dire need of psychotherapy and medication. Therefore, plainly human and certainly not divine. Maybe god should rot in hell for this incorrigible behavior.
