A tree of knowledge. Is knowledge a bad thing? Did Adam and Eve know what is bad before partaking of the tree? Did they have free will before partaking of the tree? Why is temptation coming from a snake? Why did eating the tree cause mortality, painful birth, and difficulty earning a living? Is this story even real? Why did they only care for clothing after eating from the tree?

What is really going on?
