Yes I agree they knew it was wrong, because they knew the consequences, but I believe they only understood it as wrong, not evil. Like a child knows right from wrong but not that wrong is actually evil, at least till the child reaches a certain age which could vary from child to child.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
