This sure is an interesting discussion.

The fruit of knowledge...i don't think the sin is making things smaller or separating them. Because the separation exists only in our own little minds. The world probably doesn't care what names we give or don't give it.

But with our knowledge, the expansion of our minds, we became counscious beings. And that is the mother of all sins, even though it may not be much of a sin in itself.

Because we separated ourselves from the other creatures. A lion kills, like we do. But the lion doesn't know any better.

We where always violent animals. Territorial. Omnivorous. But like the lion, we simply didn't know anything else.

But now we do know. So now, every kill is a counscious choice.

But we cannot go back either. We cannot delete our knowledge. Well....we can ofcourse, with lots of alcohol and social media, but the people who wrote the bible didn't know about youtube and distilleries yet.
