The end result is the same, knowing A&E disobyed him, yet it wouldn't have condemned every human from there on as a filthy sinner in need of a blood sacrifice for salvation.
The end result would not have been the same, 1) Lucifer was interested in only in destroying Gods creation, 2) this could have only been done by knowledge of good and evil entering it, 3) Lucifer did not care about Adam and Eve, his only interest in them was to use them to complete his evil work, thus condemning them to spiritual and physical death, 4) without becoming knowledgeable of good and evil Adam and Eve would not have understood what their sin meant. So a normal tree would not have had the same results.
It's all made up, pal.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
