So I mean if you think about it the earlier part of genesis is essentially setting the reader up for the fall of mankind. We are shown Gods power so that obedience makes sense because God obviously has more knowledge on these subjects than humanity could, so even if we don't know whether something God tells us is good or bad we should follow his lead anyway because he is the more powerful company. That for me sort of sets a weird tone for the rest of the bible doesn't it? I mean we are essentially saying "regardless of what God says obey him because look what happened when adam and eve didnt." It's an interesting perspective I've never really noticed.
