Tree of Knowledge

As the bible says, the fruit eve gave adam, which, upon its being eaten, consumated the fall of man, was fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I believe that any knowledge of good and evil was a mere after effect, a product of the discernment we were forced to learn as a consequence of the fall, rather than the catalyst of the divide. What I think we truly ate of was the knoweldge of choice, granting us an alternative. It was the knowledge, the actual realization, of our free will. In our free will we learned, or rather had to adapt to the choices of good and evil, right and wrong, but what we chose was independence, free will. Rather than full unity with God, we chose instead to have to choose. The issue isn't whether or not we are found right or wrong in theis world or by God or towards others, those are just part of the discernment of our post fall consciences because our inherency is no longer the inherent goodness of God. We must now surrender our free will to be unified with God, our actions are mere indicidants of our devotion, or lack there of, to God and His will in our lives.
