"Take it", said the woman. "It tastes good." The man hesitated for a good reason. That fruit came from the special tree at the center of the garden. It was the forbidden fruit of the forbidden tree, and Adam knew that very well. What he didn't know very well was whether he should take the fruit from the woman and eat it or not.
"You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die".
The words came to Adam without confusion. Yet Adam must have thought, how does it matter? Eve has already eaten the fruit and here she is, alive and kicking. No, there couldn't be any death in this. The death warning may only be symbolic.
Symbolic? Wrong, Adam! There is a cemetery in every city, town, village, or hamlet to remind us that the day he ate of the fruit of that tree he died, so do his ancestors today.
That was it! What seemed like a small decision that took place under a tree triggered off a series of eternal consequences. With his eyes open, staring at his wife in the garden, Adam made a fatal decision.
If one false decision is capable of spelling out eternal doom and dire consequences, how cautious need we be when it comes to making decisions!

Adam's and Eve's story, is a classic story of our inheritance, but as you so aptly put it, even today as in Adam's and Eve's time, we each have a "will" given to us by God to choose what is right from wrong, and in making that choice, we have the "Conscience", which for me is "the voice of God" to guide us.
You're 100% right brother. we each have a "will" given to us by God to choose what is fright from wrong.
