Hey so, tangent question. How can a perfect being get jealous, anyway?
A better term would be that he is being zealous.
But about the topic in hand, the whole point of the tree was a simple test to see if they would obey God's law. It was not like it was a hard test for them to do, since there were many trees around for food for them, but God set this tree up to test their loyalties to him. In spite of what is normally said, we are not known was the actual fruit is, but since the Latin for evil is so close apple that the story stuck, but for some reason forbidden fruit seems to better.

So now we're talking about a god that tries to trick us, and punishes us for failing the trick?
How is it a trick if God told them not to eat it "lest ye die." God told them plainly not to eat from the tree, and he told them plainly what would happen if they did. Not a trick, a test.
Actually, and this is just how I understand it, they knew it was wrong to eat from the tree because God told them it was. The knowlegde of good and evil applied to everything else. For instance, if God told them they were naked, and they should cover up then they would of realized it just from him telling them. But since he didn't tell them, they only knew after they ate the fruit. Not sure if what I just said makes sense but whatever.
Is god naked ?
If you mean God the Father, he is a spiritual being and the question doesn't apply. If you mean Jesus the Son, then its possible because he lives in heaven where sin doesn't exist so nakedness wouldn't be a big deal. Who knows for sure though.
Ok I see what you're saying now.
Inbreeding had to not matter at somepoint, whether or not evolution, or creation is true, otherwise we wouldn't be here, unless God created many people at once, or a huge variety of life randomly sprang out of nowhere.
What on earth gives you that idea?The first group of humans had to inbreed is what I'm saying.
