If Adam and Eve were perfect, why did they choose to sin? Adam and Eve, when they were created in the Garden of Eden, were without sin.  Because of that, they were perfect and flawless.
However, with that theology in mind, I'm running up against a wall: Why, if Adam and Eve were perfect, did they choose to sin?
Were they not perfect?
If we presume that they weren't perfect, then we have to see that God created them with the imperfection.  If God created them as imperfect, would that mean that by creating us this way he caused us to sin?
(Being omniscient, he knew full well that if he created us to sin then we would sin.  Therefore wouldn't his act of creation be the cause of the sin?)  Finally, if he created us to sin, can God be held accountable for this sin?
Were they perfect?
Or, rather, did God create them as perfect and they chose imperfection?  If Adam and Eve chose imperfection, how could they be considered perfect?
My question, in summary
Are there any doctrines that speak to the perfection or imperfection of Adam and Eve (particularly in regards to why they chose to sin)?
If the doctrine claims Adam and Eve were perfect, how do they reconcile this with them choosing imperfection (since that would indicate they were imperfect from creation)?
If the doctrine claims that Adam and Eve were imperfect, how do they reconcile this with the idea that God created imperfect beings?  Furthermore, does that doctrine hold that God is partially responsible for the sins that Adam and Eve committed since he knew that they would commit the sin and chose to create them anyways?
Existing in a perfect state did not deprive Adam and Eve of Free Will. Genesis 3:4-5 tells us that the serpent firstly modified God's Word by promising Eve that by taking of the forbidden fruit she would not surely die. Second, he enticed her with the promise of knowledge (knowing good and evil).


  Genesis 3:4-5 (KJV)
  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God
  doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be
  opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.


You might say that Eve was led into believing that the serpent was showing her a "fast-track" way to become closer to God.
