I ran across the idea that the forbidden tree was actually called the knowledge of good/evil (or evil/good) - the ancient word - interpreted to mean the knowledge of everything, which is consistent with the telling of the Tower of Babel where nothing would restrain them from building their own ideas of Stairways to Heaven, that is creating Paradise, for example , based on their own Scientific and Technological prowess. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems that the knowledge of the difference between right and wrong came much later with Moses and the Ten Commandments...
