The silliness of it all

I was looking at the Genisis (creation story) where god had created man & woman and placed them in a garden that he also created. He told them them they could eat anything in the garden - execpt from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Any idea what this tree would look like? Any idea why Adam and Eve can't have any knowledge of good and evil? God tells them that if they eat from this tree they shall die! Along comes a serpent. Tells Eve of the benefits of eating from this tree - wisdom. The serpent coaxes Eve into eating from the tree - he tells her that she won't die if she eats from the tree. God has to ask if they did anything wrong (I thought he was ALL KNOWING?), once he finds out that they ate from the tree when he forbade it, god get's angry & banishes the two from the garden - BUT they don't die.

Serpent 1 - God 0
