I'm sorry I don't follow along with your reasoning.
You said above that A and E lived in a situation where they had to do what God told them or they die.
So in your opinion, God made A and E eat of the forbidden fruit so they could die?
What about the Garden of Gethsemane?
Are we made in the image of God? Was Jesus made in the image of a human being?
He said in the Garden, "not my will but your will be done".
Luke 22:42
This shows that Jesus had His own will, just as we do.
How would you explain that?
I didn't say this at all did I? " God made A and E eat of the forbidden fruit so they could die?" where di I say that God made them eat of the tree? God said don't eat of the tree or you will die, hence do what God's says or die.
you can't read text here let alone scripture it seems, read the bible if you don't know if you are made in God's image. God made man in God's image the day He made him. but if you would just read the bible instead of your own opinions you would know for a fact that:
Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
its not an opinion it so happens to be what it says:
man was no longer in God's image and likeness so when you were born into the world you were born into the image of man, the fallen man the sinful man the man in sin separated from God's Presence. it is Jesus who restored the image and likeness of God in the Son of man. that can be received via being born of the Holy Spirit.
