Eating fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil is the point where the human animal ceases to just live and thinks as well.

A need for religion?? You honestly believe that a woman ate a friut from a magical tree and BAM she suddenly has all this knowlege, this cognitive ability to understand things previously not understood? How is that logical?
And why would you want to take a step back from fully experiencing? Isn't that what life is all about? Experience?
I am going to give you some insight on this topic that only I know, so don't ask me for a source. The tree of life and the tree of knowledge (there were two is you recall) are associated with the constellation of Crater, the cup. This also represents the Holy Grail of Christianity. Legend states drinking from this cup will give knowledge and life (health). Other religions have similar legends about trees and cups. It all comes from the same constellation. And that is what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown.
