What's the big deal about eating of the tree of knowledge? Not that I believe scriptures are literal. But ok, God sits man in front of a tree then tells him not to eat from it, for no reason at all. After Eve comes about the serpent tells her that her eyes will be open if she eats and that this "Group" that refers to themselves as "us" was actually lying telling Adam on the day that he eats of the tree he will surely die, which was a bold face lie. The serpent actually told the truth if we get technological, their eyes were opened and when they ate of the tree they DID not die, what happened afterwards was by this "groups" own doing. They then shortened Adam/Eve's life spawn and put suffering on them, because they knew that the tree of knowledge lead to the tree of life, so in order that they would not BECOME LIKE THEM, become greater then they, they casted them out of paradise.
So how lied? Who did wrong? Again I am just speaking reflective to what is written, this story is allegory
