Discussions of Eve and her wise, if perhaps not fully informed choice, are quite interesting. But if Eve’s choice was wise, what does that say about Adam? Was refusing to eat the fruit obedient… and unwise? If her choice was wise, was his not wise? Was Adam unwise to be too obedient?

Now, of course, we are right to point out that eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge wasn’t technically a sin. It was breaking a law, that had consequences. It is also correct that Adam had multiple, partially conflicting laws he needed to keep, such as have children.

If Eve was right, was Adam wrong? And if he was wrong, was he wrong because he wasn’t looking at the whole picture?
