Logical Inconsistancies

So. Here's the thing. The whole Adam and Eve thing. It just doesn't make sense.

Lets see. You have this god, that according to every Christian I've talked to is supposed to be All-knowing and All-powerful. This god creates thinking beings that have no concept of right and wrong, nor death, etc... This god then creates a tree that these creatures are instructed not to partake of because if they do, they will die. Yet these are again creatures/beings with no concept of death, nor again, right and wrong. So until they eat of this tree, the tree of knowledge of right and wrong, they are by definition of the story not going to know that what they have done is wrong.

So, god is supposedly All-knowing. Based on this story, he is deliberately setting these creatures up for a fall since he knew they would partake of the tree. He then is going to punish them, as well as all of their descendants for something he knew they would do, and knew they wouldn't know was wrong until after the fact. This makes this god Immoral.

Or, this god is not all-knowing, and possibly incompetent as it couldn't see this coming.

So really. Which is it, under the assumption that the Christian god exists. Is it incompetent, or an immoral prick?

Just some thoughts
