Dear Isaac,
But even according to the bible man was not as intellectually and emotionally astute before he ate from the tree of knowledge as he was after the fact.

HH: It is not necessary to arrive at this conclusion from the Genesis story. The reason Adam knew evil was that he was now a victim of it by succumbing to the temptation to do evil. He knew by experience what it was to rebel against God and do wrong. He knew guilt and would know punishment. Yes, he knew something he did not know before, but it was not to his advantage to do so, really.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
