Have you considered the idea that Adam may have been an asexual being and God removed his female reproductive organs to form Eve rather than a rib?

Well the question was for the OP, but maybe you have a better explanation of where the people came from that Cain was banished to?
9 And Cain took Awan his sister to be his wife and she bare him Enoch at the close of the fourth jubilee. [190-196 A.M.] And in the first year of the first week of the fifth jubilee, [197 A.M.] houses were built on the earth, and Cain built a city, and called its name after the name of his son Enoch.

I love it: an actual debate about the logical construction of a mythological story!
BTW, what was the second commandment (and the first commandment) referred to by the OP?
I thought the "Commandments" weren't defined until Moses.
And what happened to Lilith (or whatever the woman created in Genesis 1's name was)?
How was it that Cain and Able had wives to choose from that weren't also their sisters?
Even the Jewish theologians struggled with trying to explain the inconsistencies in this mythology, thus creating the Lilith myth to support it. Let's face it folks, the bible is a work of fiction, make up or believe whatever you want about Genesis.

Doesnt mean that god would not have let them eat from it at a later point.
Maybe he just wanted the two to slowly acclimatise to there surroundings and get a good grounding in knowlage and understanding before they start reproducing.
Being the the first they would have have the knowlage and understanding of 3 year olds. Imagine a 3 year old going into puberty
Remeber these two were made to live very long lives (IE forever) without old age or diease. So waiting a few decades for them to mature before the fun begain was not a unreasonble request and god most likley had there own best intrest at heart. If they had waited a couple of years then likley god would have allowed them to move on to the next stage.edit on 28-7-2013 by crazyewok because: (no reason given)

It wasn't the "tree of knowledge", it was the tree of knowledge "of good and evil". Meaning the only thing gained by A&E was the ability to discern good and evil. A&E have the same biological functions animals have, that includes the ability and instinct to reproduce. OP is based on a flawed premise.
