ID question for creationists

The biblical account of Adam and Eve gives a basic outline of the fall of man without neccessarily getting inside Gods' head a great deal. The most common criticism of the account is that if Adam and Eve sinned then how can you say that they were ever perfect. The best common response to this dilemna is probably that if God were make us without any capacity to disobey then we would be no more than robots programmed to tow the line.
The ability to choose right or wrong, means that when we choose to love or worship it is genuine and not just a programmed response like instincts in the animal kingdom. God created us for a higher purpose than a spider that insinctively makes a web. he made us in his own image, with conscience and reason and creativity.

Not at all. He could have made them with the knowledge of right and wrong and taught them how to follow their natural instincts to be good.
.........................................if someone has a natural instinct to do good it is a robot

If this works I've learnt something today
