Context: I sometimes hear the argument that god explicitly told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit, the same way a parent tells its child not to stick things or touch electrical outlets. So god forcing the two of them to have children and dooming every human ever since is perfectly justified.

Former Christian here, them choosing to eat the fruit and ignoring God's instructions is the entire point. This is a lesson for humanity so that they know the consequences of ignoring the one almighty.

Don't down vote me here, I'm just the delivery girl.

Is there also some lore behind how could god punish them, even thought they couldn't distinguish between good and evil before eating from the tree? This question has already been mentioned in the comments, and nobody I've ever talked to knew the answer.
