QT, you seem to be missing something in the Genesis account.
The couple were told not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Prior to their CHOICE (a familiar word in the U.S.) of eating from that tree- they had NO knowledge of evil, they only had knowledge of good.
The serpent has been offering the same tree to us in different forms ever since.
And we have been making the same choices.
