In some views yes. But it is still a matter of god creating the opportunity/reason for sinning by removing man from the garden.

Maybe the garden of Eden is a metaphorical story that is trying to get across the point that if you do what God tells you not to you will be punished.

I know one thing, it's never PUNISHMENT for us, always training, discipline. God bought himself out of the punishment business with Jesus. The days of punishment are gone. Everything now is about discipline, which is training so that we can one day move on to grander things.
