He or she is omniscient. Many people cannot imagine God doing anything evil, including me. This depends on one's concept of God, however. Some believe God punishes sinners while other folks see God as hopeful, loving and forgiving.
God allows Adam and Eve to be deceived by the Serpent (the craftiest of all of God's wild creatures).
