I find it rather absurd that he says that Adam was commanded at the ninth hour of the day not to eat from it - on Friday (before Shabbat), and that he ate from the fruit at the tenth hour, before Shabbat entered.
How does the text tell us that God completed everything and rested on the Shabbat. Does this mean that man sinning was part of the everything that God made? The Torah would certainly lead us to believe that it wasn't an hour later. This is a problem one encounters when midrash adds upon midrash. Contradictions abound.
