If god did not want A & E to sin, why did he put Satan/talking serpent there to temp them as he sat back and just watched Satan do as he instructed her to?
Do you not believe the hymn sung at this time that says that Adam's sin was a happy fault and necessary to god's plan?
If necessary, would you refrain from sin and thus derail god's plan?
Would you rather derail god's plan?

God wanted to test their love for Him... God obviously did not want them to disobey him, but they did and so God judged them and death was the punishment. They would have lived forever if Eve had not fallen for the trick of the snake -eaten the fruit and then encouraged Adam to eat the forbidden fruit and to sin as well. That was the origin of sin and death for mankind.
What hymn is this that you are always speaking of?
No one can fully resist sin besides God/Jesus Christ.
We can't derail God's plan but we can derail satan's plan to deceive us if we try to live the best life we can accomplish for God by resisting as much sin and temptation as possible and following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and spreading the gospel and truth of Him and his Father in Heaven.
You have to understand that God set it up like that from the start- He forbid Adam and Eve to eat the fruit for a very good reason and that was to keep them from the truth of good and evil... It is like he gave them that one choice to disobey him by being tempted to eat it. They only had that one option in what we consider to be "freewill" and they could have chosen to do what God wanted but they disobeyed. We have a choice to either obey God or disobey him and be sinful. We are tempted way more and over so many more things than that one temptation that Adam and Eve were tested with. But if you believe in Jesus/YHWH the Son of God, all those sins that you commit will not be held against you in the final judgement. If you don't believe in Him you will be condemned to eternal damnation, a sad thing of course for all those people that reject the truth of Jesus's sacrifice for us, but that is what is written and that is what is the truth.
1 Corinthians 15:22
“For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.”
