The Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil

In the story of Adam and Eve in the Bible the tree which Eve was tempted by was one that would bring awareness of the difference between Good and Evil.  To understand this is powerful.  To be able to have knowledge of Good and Evil, means we must become aware of what is Evil.  Why couldn't this be done in the Garden of Eden?  

Some people say that everything is God.  Defining God as everything can result in moral relativism.  That is, if everything is God, and God is Good, then nothing can be evil or wrong, or in otherwords, evil is also good because it is from God.  According to the theory of Chris Langan, God has a boundary.  That boundary is essential to distinguishing between God and Evil.  

I ascribe to this as well.  I believe that God is Good.  The reason we had to be expelled from Heaven, where we were embodied in God's essence, is that we could not experience Evil and be a part of God.  We had to become separate to experience Evil.  

There is no doubt in my mind that Evil exists.  I see it all around this world.  It has grown in power as we are able to connect.  It has seduced our collective psyche, and I believe the moral relativism of saying there is no difference between Good and Evil is one way we are being led away from goodness, and away from God.

What is we all ascribed to the essence of Good.  What would the world be like?  Well, it would be Paradise!
