Satan told them the lie that they would not die if they ate from the tree, but he also told the truth when he said they would "be like God, knowing good and evil," Genesis 3:4.Which means that they had no knowledge of good or evil, and apparently god did not want them to have it. He just wanted them to blindly obey, or he would kill them.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
