If someone had an orchard and said you could eat of any tree in the field except for one, then another person told you the forbidden fruit was the most delicious of all the fruits would you sneak and eat one?

If you put it another context, we eat from the tree everyday. We do things all the time that God has forbidden us to do.

This is tricky, there is no comparison.
They were not consience of the difference between good and evil, we are.
So if I do something that I was told not to do. I'm using my judgement to decide between doing the right thing and the wrong thing, taking in perspective what I consider to be righ or wrong, I've been exposed to good and evil, but Adan & Eva were not, ther were fresh out of the box, pure and simple minds, so pure that they have not even engage in sexual relations yet. They didn't have any experences to differenciate between wrong and right, they had no consience, no judgement, didn't know how to react to another command.
But if they were created to image and likeness of god, then is a different story, Image and likeness can means also that God, created two gods, one male and one female, and they act with consience of what they were doing because they were created like God all knowing.

depends on how much I trusted the person who told me. The fruit is just part of the story, its the relationship that's interesting. If I knew I could trust everything he said, I wouldn't eat the fruit, but if I had my doubts, I would want to know whether he could be trusted and this would be a good test.

Yes of course. If the bible is right, what use would not eating it be? A perfect life with no struggle. Also no joy. A life of nothing.

it's in human nature to do things that are forbidden... we invented so many things by doing things that were forbidden

No. History has proven that we must learn from the mistakes of others.

Because I'm morally and ethically advanced, no.
My answer has absolutely no other [religious] connotation.
Thank you for playing.
