Sorry if these question's cause any offence, that is not my intention, they are question's that have beleaguered my little mind since childhood (I did ask the questions in the Catholic school I attended, but being called a 'wicked boy' and getting my backside leathered with a wooden ruler was not really the answer I was hoping for) so here goes:
Q) Why didn’t God smite Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit? In the Old Testament God is not too shy in smiting and a slaying all those who have offended him. Would it have not been a better idea to restart from the beginning with the destruction of these two, create a new couple who would adhere to his rules and negate humanity being cast out of Eden?
Is there any serious theological answers to these please? (this is my first thread, please be gentle)

I am not saying the human race should have been destroyed. All I am asking is why could he have not restarted with another Adam and Eve and rebooted humanity.

Symbolism...
I have issues with that.
Why not just say what is trying to be conveyed straight out?
