If Adam was made perfect, why did he give in to temptation?

Lou Newton, former Steel Mill Crane Designer and Physics Teacher
Adam was not made perfect, he was made innocent. Innocent is the ability to be perfect. Only God is perfect in all of His ways. Perfection can not fail, and Adam choose to fail.
To be perfect one would have to have all wisdom. Adam simply did not have all wisdom. Wisdom comes from God and not from men. If Adam would have sought God in all cases for wisdom, he could have stayed innocent. But Eve sought to have wisdom without God and that was not wise but foolish.
