You might want to look things up in the bible before you make reference go them. The devil tempted Eve by telling her that if they ate the fruit they would become like God, knowing good and evil. That is what happened when they ate the fruit of the tree "of the knowledge of good and evil." When God banished them from the garden he said that they must not be allowed to eat from the "tree of life" lest they live forever. Obviously God didn't wish to allow them to live forever in their sinful state. One thing the bible never said was that men would become like God in any ultimate sense, but would only acquire certain characteristics of God, which we do possess.
