   Don't these idiots realize that there were TWO trees in the garden?  Eating   
   the fruit of the second tree, The Tree of Everlasting Life would confer   
   immortality.  The man was kicked out of the garden to prevent him from   
   becoming "gods like we."  Right in their bible it says there are more than   
   one god and that humans could become gods by eating fruit.   
      
   Incidentally the bible is very specific about kicking the MAN out of the   
   garden.  It says nothing about the woman.  Why do Fundies miss that part?   
      
   They also miss the part where god lies and says they will die on the very   
   day they eat that fruit.  The serpent said god was lying.  It turns out the   
   serpent was correct.  Adam and Eve did not die that day.  And further, not   
   only did Adam and Even not know what good and evil were before eating the   
   fruit as you pointed out, only the man got the instructions.  Eve wasn't   
   around yet (unless the other story was correct and Adam and Eve were created   
   at the same time out of the dust of the earth.  Now what woman in her right   
   mind would expect her husband to get everything right?  :-)
