Do you believe; and why?

And the reason she believed the serpent instead of God is because God wanted to keep her ignorant so that he could have blind obedience.

Pretty sure you're missing the entire point. Whether she lived/died/became godlike/remained human is not the point. Because as we know she/Adam didn't die "the very day" they ate the fruit.

The point is she was told not to  and she knew she was told not to and she still ate because Satan told her she wouldn't die. So it matters not whether she believed she was going to die or not. Her sin was disobedience. 

Now if the serpent would have said "God really doesn't care if you eat from the tree" you may have a point, but the serpent simply told Eve why God did not want her to eat
