Genuine question for any Christians out here.

I don’t want this to come off as me being a nitpicky asshole, but I just had a thought and I’m curious if there’s an actual answer to it.

So, Eve was created after God noticed that Adam was lonely, right? And then they had babies. Which means that Adam was fertile and had a fully functioning reproductive system. So... why? Why was Adam created with the ability to have sex and reproduce if there was originally no intention for him to do those things?

I mean, I’m sure this is one of the stories that aren’t meant to be taken literally, but it’s still an interesting sort of plot hole, I guess.
