tree of knowledge

Why would god create humans (Adam and Eve) as naturally curious, then plant the bait of a tasty treat in the garden and allow a fast talking serpent in there to entice the curious humans?

Imagine putting a box in a daycare where dozens of children play. The box is marked "candy". It has no lock. Inside is an angry King Cobra snake. The daycare provider tells the children not to open the box, but doesn't specify the consequences or dire dangers. Then he leaves the room and leaves the door open for a predator to come in and suggest that the children should open the box because there's candy inside.

Were the children given a fair chance? God punished all humanity for all eternity for one person's finite crime. That would be like a child being bitten by the Cobra and the daycare provider unleashing the Cobra on family members of the bitten child for generations to come. This god is pure evil. We're all damn lucky he doesn't exist.
