First of all, Godschild, Eve did no such thing. She quoted God directly; she didn't need to know right and wrong to do that, just be able to remember one sentence.
From Wikipedia: Serpent is the term used to translate a variety of words in the Hebrew bible, the most common being Hebrew: נחש, (nahash), the generic word for "snake".
OH I KNOW! Maybe Killman got that idea because the word means snake. Just a thought.
So you're saying because God loved Adam and Eve, he put a tree in the Garden of Eden with fruit on it that got them kicked out and cursed along with their entire species. Yeah, sounds likely.
"Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves."
They didn't realize they were naked until they ate the fruit. Why not? Is nudity evil?
Also, why is knowledge such a bad thing? In the context of a church trying to control people I can understand why suggesting that knowledge should be punished is desirable, but I can't think of another reason.
