Faith is found at the beginning and end of the road. It's those who forever stay in the middle that get lost. In the beginning of Genesis, God gives man the easy path of just trusting in Him. Instead, he chose the hard and perilous path that comes with seeking knowledge.

But it was all part of God's plan. We had to have both free will and the ability to deal with doubt. He knew we'd be stronger in mind and faith at the end of it, but He still gave us a choice because He didn't want us to suffer.

This is a truth about knowledge we see often to this day. Whether you're learning science or taking the red pill, you have to be strong in mind and willing to go all the way down the rabbit hole. At the end of one you'll learn there's good reason to believe in God, and at the end of the other you'll learn it's the jews. Both truths you could have just trusted in, but now you no longer have doubts about it.
