So, if I’m understanding this correctly, Adam and Eve in the Garden lived forever until they ate the fruit. There was a non-zero chance of eating the fruit (we know this since they did, in fact eat it). If a choice is repeated endlessly until a particular option is taken, and there’s a non-zero chance of choosing that option, isn’t it a 100% certainty that that choice will be made at some point? So God basically put them in a position where it was inevitable they would eat the fruit, and then punished them when they did.

In a way, this is analogous with Christian doctrine, which teaches that sin is a) inevitable, and b) worthy of punishment. I can’t really dig that.
