    Your point is a good one.

    Theists advertise their Almighty God as omniscient (knows and sees all), omnipotent (can do anything), and (omnipresent (is everywhere at all times).

    That is simply a fact. They ***do*** claim all of those powers for him.

    And what you are saying is that he allowed the snake in the Garden of Eden to temp Eve ***knowing that she would yield to temptation and eat the apple***.

    In that case, you are asking, "Who caused Adam and Eve to be cast out? Was it the two of them, or was it god, who allowed it to happen?

    Theists have no reasonable answer.to your question, although nothing can stop them from making up some sort of half-assed reply.

    None of the above. The snake was Satan and He fooled Eve,He didn't fool God.

    God made a talking snake, and then later wondered what the hell a talking snake was doing in his pristine garden. Funny god.
