Eternal punishment is pointless.

Yes, GC, I have read the bible multiple times. Here is the verse that you wanted about the tree.

This is from the second chapter in Genesis

16The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."

This is from the third chapter

Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”

Do you know what each verse in full is saying.

And since I was little I asked myself what god meant with "Us". Pluralis Majestatis maybe or some lend and lease from mount Olympus.

Why didn't you ask someone who had an answer?

Why, because He loved Adam and Eve so much He gave them the right to choose. Would you have God to treat you as a mindless twit, by the way you reason it seems that would suit you fine. The only hairless ape are those who desire to be less than what God can make out of them.

It seems to me, god preferred they stayed mindless twits.

Your seems are not facts, care to show some. Sin makes people mindless twits.
