The answer: nothing.
But please do read on, by all means.
Much of my post is essentially summed up in this pretty bit of poetry by our friend Milton:
One fatal Tree there stands of Knowledge called,
Forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidden?
Suspicious, reasonless. Why should their Lord;
Envy them that? Can it be sin to know,
Can it be death? And do they only stand
By ignorance, is that their happy state,
the proof of their obedience and their faith?
Now, I don't think God was intentionally giving Adam and Eve a hard time by placing the biggest and prettiest tree right in the middle of the garden with very strict rules attached--(NO TOUCHY)--but I do think it was a test of faith and obedience that He personally needed.
(Also...have you heard the bird is the word?)
