Do you believe; and why?

God made this clear to them when he said that they will "surely die" if they eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Even Satan knew that Adam and Eve understood what the consequence of their actions was because Satan went as far as to offer a rebuttal to what God said and counter argued that they wouldn't die but instead would become like God.

Actually Adam and Eve did NOT KNOW the consequences of eating the fruit because if they did they would never have eaten it.
 
The real decision was not to eat the fruit or not.  It was to believe God or the serpent.

Why did Adam and Eve chose to believe the serpent over God?  Because they did not know the difference between good and evil.
