3. GOOD for gaining knowledge ("desirable for gaining wisdom").

Clearly, there are at least three ways that Eve knew that something was "good"; thus, we can see that she did have some basic understanding of "good" and "evil" and from this alone she should have been able to grasp that disobeying God was NOT good - especially in light of His warning that they would die if they ate of that tree.

This is just another attempt to make God a moral monster by blaming Him for our human failings.

Remind me... which character is supposed to have made the fruit in the first place, put the fruit within easy reach and then specifically pointed it out..? "God" as depicted in this trash is at least as sick as a parent who puts a plate of 'Daddy's special brownies', slathered in chocolate sprinkles and topped with Smarties, in his children's bedroom, on top of the bookcase, with a sign they can't read yet saying "hands off or Daddy will pop a cap in your skull".

Since neither you nor I believe that there was literally a tree in the middle of a garden from which Eve took a piece of forbidden fruit, what's your point? [Image: shrug.gif]
