Doesn't it seem suspicious that God didn't want Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge? Why would he want people to be ignorant?
But even if it's a metaphor, it still seems odd that God would want people to be in the dark about certain things.
That's certainly one way to interpret it, but many religious scholars argue that God simply wanted his creation to have free will and the ability to choose between good and evil. By eating from the tree of knowledge, Adam and Eve were making a conscious choice to go against God's wishes and determine their own fate.
