After spending time with Eve

Adam was walking in the Garden with God. He told God how much the newly created woman means to him and how blessed he feels to have her. Adam began to ask God questions:

Adam: Lord, Eve is beautiful. Why did you make her so beautiful?
God: So you will always want to look at her.
Adam: And Lord, her skin is so soft. Why did you make her skin so soft?
God: So you will always want to touch her.
Adam: She always smells so good. Lord, why did you make her smell so good?
God: So you will always want to be near her.
Adam: That's wonderful Lord, and I don't want to seem ungrateful, but why did you make her so stupid?
God: So she would love you.

Adam pondered this for a moment.

Adam: That doesn't make any sense.
God: Now go, cultivate the Garden, and keep it safe.
Adam: No, no, hold up. Was that supposed to be some kind of an insult? Like you're trying to be clever or something?
God: Son...
Adam: Because, you know, you created me too, so I'm not exactly sure how that's an insult.
God: She is only human, Adam. She is of bone taken from your bone, and flesh from your flesh.
Adam: That doesn't explain why she's retarded. And look, if you didn't want us to eat from the tree of knowledge, why did you create it? Am I missing something? Honestly God, I really don't understand how you operate sometimes.

And God rolled his eyes, having experienced man's philosophy for the first time.

God: Listen, my work is done; deal with it. If you don't mind, I'm going to go take a long nap.
