They may understand the command but would they do it? If it were us being Adam and Eve, would we have acted differently? Check out this experiment of delayed gratification done with kids and marshmallows.

I also wonder why all of humanity is judged based on the actions of A and E. Here is a thought experiment: if God created Eve and Eve, would Christians today frown on straight couples? If Adam and Eve were black, you get my point. No diversity in the Garden of Eden so how do we know which aspects were there before or after the fall? How do we know gayness was an attribute before or after the fall?
Here is a question for you all: If there are verses in the bible that says that women are inferior and slaves should obey their masters, then why did Woman’s Rights and Civil Rights Movements occur? Are they against the bible? Some people in those eras used bible verses to condemn woman rights and african americans getting equal rights. How is gay rights any different?
