Notes from an old journal:
Adam. Not "god"--the transcendent point. Existing in "faith" his knowledge is limited, and yet "complete." Yet, he has the desire to become "more like God." So he rejects faith, in so doing, realizing the paradox of subjectivity and objectivity, and his own infinite shortcoming, that he is not "god."
Either:
"It is good to not desire to become something better." (defense of God)
Or:
"It is evil to command a subject to remain flawed and grant the same subject the moral perception." (defense of man)
If Adam were truly without any moral perception, he would have had no motivation to "sin," for there would be no desire for the state of knowledge, or, to be "like god."
If he is created with moral perception then God's command is flawed, being both "I am the perfection who speaks this command" and "I command you to remain imperfect."
