I don't know if this is what is supposed to be interpreted in Genesis. But if it is, why did god not want Adam and Eve to have knowledge of Evil?

Was the choice to disobey evil?What sort of parent wants their children to know about ' evil '?
They had instructions some positive and one negitive, don't eat from two trees.
They didn't need detailed knowledge about what these trees represented.
As far as Adam and Eve were concerned it was a case of obey, they chose to disobey.
It is interesting that people still chose to disobey.
The choice to disobey God express command was wrong.Was the choice to disobey evil?
Disobeying God might be considered evil by some. Certainly sinning, which is usually equated with evil. So we do know that prior to eating from the tree, they had the capacity to sin or do evil. Some suggest that the tree may not have had any special qualities at all and was simply a test. It's interesting to think about.The choice to disobey God express command was wrong.
If you call not obeying God evil then yes it was evil.
Maybe He did. Not all Christians agree on these points, but if God is all-knowing and had foreknowledge of Adam and Eve eating from the tree and He still chose to put it where they could eat from it and God could have done otherwise, then it should stand to reason that the fall of man was intended.
If He can see what will happen and He formed human nature, the garden, the tree, the serpent, etc, then maybe the answer is He did intend that all that happen.
But if He is not all-knowing, then yeah. Perhaps He made some mistakes.

Maybe God knows that men do not appreciate what they have until they no longer have it. God gave man free will and a rational mind, Man needs to learn how to use it properly.Maybe He did.

God knows how attractive evil is to man. Sin always looks so good but it always costs far more than it is worth.I don't know if this is what is supposed to be interpreted in Genesis. But if it is, why did god not want Adam and Eve to have knowledge of Evil?

Knowledge of good and evil (our conscience today) was not needed for Adam and Eve to sin. They had knowledge of right and wrong which is not the same. By Adam and Eve not having knowledge of good and evil they could be given just one way to sin. It was not "sin" for Eve to lust after the fruit, be selfish, covet the fruit, and not seek council.I don't know if this is what is supposed to be interpreted in Genesis.
