Do you believe; and why?

We're specifically talking about Adam and Eve coming to know right and wrong by eating a piece of fruit, which is what you are claiming. You said they gained that through the Tree of Knowledge. I said they didn't because they didn't literally gain a basic of sense of right and wrong from the Tree of Knowledge. You then alluded to the fact that they "became ashamed of their nakedness" meaning they did gain the knowledge of right and wrong from the fruit because they were ashamed.

I'm asking you.... In what way does them becoming ashamed of their nakedness show that they gained the knowledge of right and wrong from the fruit?  You said "being ashamed of nakedness is basic knowledge". Basic knowledge of what? Right and wrong? How? How does them being ashamed of their nakedness mean they suddenly gained the basic knowledge of what is right and what is wrong?

I don't know what other knowledge Adam and Eve would have received except the knowledge of good and evil from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The title is self-explanatory.

Quote:What logical steps did you use to come to the conclusion that what you believe concerning Adam and Eve is true in regards to the story of them gaining the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong from the tree? 

This is a story about a man made from dust, a woman made from a rib, and a talking serpent; and you want to talk logic?

The first step involves reading "the tree of knowledge of good and evil." From the name I deduce that particular tree involves the knowledge of good and evil. There is no logical reason why I would think it involves any knowledge other than the knowledge of good and evil which is nothing more than knowing the difference between right and wrong.

Immediately after eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Adam and Eve were immediately ashamed of their nakedness? Why? Because they thought it was wrong to be naked. Thus they were ashamed for being wrong. Where did they get their sense of right and wrong? From the tree of knowledge of good and evil they just ate from.
