God commanded to Adam and Eve: “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die”
The serpent contradicted God, telling Eve: “You will not certainly die, for God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil”

When the concept of ‘free will’ is seen and analyzed as it actually is – as two separate words or concepts, rather than the one-word concept it has always been mistaken to be – it becomes a logical absurdity. When the word ‘free’ is used as an adjective to describe or modify the noun ‘will’, the result is logical and rational nonsense. Saying that “will is free” is as preposterous as saying that “drive, desire and motivation are free,” “smell is fast,” “color is evil,” or “love is immobile”
WILL, DRIVE, DESIRE and MOTIVATION (WDDM), or ‘wanting’ share the same meaning (Check dictionary)
‘Choosing’ and ‘deciding’ are determined by the strength and intensity of your WDDM to experience PLEASURE. Therefore, ‘choosing’ and ‘deciding’ are not ‘freely willed’: they are solely determined by – not free of, or free from – your WDDM to experience PLEASURE. It is not WDDM that is free or unfree: It is the PHYSICAL MOVEMENT caused and compelled by WDDM that is free or unfree. As puppets or marionettes are compelled (or ‘willed’) to MOVE by strings attached to their limbs, humans are INSTINCTUALLY compelled to MOVE by WDDM. Humans are – as are all Living Things – ‘pleasure puppets’ in the Puppet Show of Life; ‘actors’ or ‘characters’ in the Movie of Life (See Featured Post)

FIRST DISPROOF
Because Eve was not free to create her WDDM to eat the apple, nor free to eliminate her WDDM to eat the apple, nor free to determine the strength and intensity of her WDDM to eat the apple… ‘freedom of her WILL to eat the apple’, ‘freedom of her DRIVE to eat the apple’, ‘freedom of her DESIRE to eat the apple’, and ‘freedom of her MOTIVATION to eat the apple’ are nonsensical and absurd
Eve’s WDDM to experience the PLEASURE of eating the apple and ‘being like God’ was stronger and more intense than her WDDM to avoid certain death; and she was therefore INSTINCTUALLY compelled to eat the apple
Because Eve did not ‘freely choose’ or ‘freely decide’ to eat the apple causing the ‘fall of man’ and the existence of ‘sin’, it is absurd to conclude that she was ‘guilty of’ or ‘was personally responsible for’ the elimination of ‘Paradise’ and the creation of ‘Heaven and Hell’
Because Eve was forced and compelled to eat the apple by or via her INSTINCTUALLY-determined WDDM (that is, not ‘personally responsible for’ or ‘guilty of’ eating it); the idea that she, and all of humankind, were ‘deserving of punishment’ is illogical and makes no sense
SECOND DISPROOF
Adam and Eve had to be mentally ill to believe the words of a serpent over the words of God himself
Christians say that God is a fair God; but a fair God would not allow ‘the fall of man’ to be determined by mentally ill humans
THIRD DISPROOF
Adam and Eve were suicidal; they wanted to die: God, himself, told them they would die if they ate the apple
A fair God would not allow ‘the fall of man’ to be determined by humans who were suicidal – who wanted to die
FOURTH DISPROOF
God failed to convince Adam and Eve that He was really, truly God
Christians say that God is infallible; so he could not have made the error and mistake of failing to convince Adam and Eve that He was the real and true God. Adam and Eve would not have believed, and have taken more seriously, the words of a serpent rather than the words of God himself (given they were both of sound mind and perfectly sane)
