God saw all that He had made, and it was very good (Genesis 1:31 HCSB). The LORD God caused to grow out of the ground every tree pleasing in appearance and good for food, including the tree of life in the midst of the garden, as well as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9 HCSB).
We note that in the beginning, everything was very good. There was no evil, and no knowledge of evil. Everyone knew what good is. But no one knew what evil is.
But in the Garden of Eden, there was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If anyone eats of the tree, they will know evil, they will know imperfection, they will know suffering.
Adam and Eve know what good is, but they know not evil. So they ate the fruit and they found out what evil is. Since then, every human have the knowledge of good and evil.
