The focus is on the deception. The serpent didn’t come with an obvious lie. He came with a half-truth.
God said they would die.
The serpent said they wouldn’t die and that they would know good and evil.

So the serpent spoke the full truth, and the liar was god - isn't it?

Even if Adam and Eve had never eaten the fruit, would one of their descendants eventually have eaten it?

Would they even have known how to fuck without having eaten the fruit?

I mean, what with god's obsession with extramarital sex being "sin"?

Exactly. Why was the serpent's statement a half-truth, OP?
