Should Adam and Eve have eaten the fruit?

God told Adam he could eat the fruit of every tree in the garden of Eden except one, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  Of course everyone knows what happened next.  The serpent persuaded Eve to eat the fruit of the tree; she gave some of the fruit to Adam and he ate it too.  As a result they were expelled from the garden and eventually died, and all of their descendants experience suffering and death.
