The story of the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden. It addresses the most fundamental of questions, that is, how did humans come to be distinguished from the other species? The answer is - our ability to choose to act in defiance of God. All other animals simply are, according to their nature. They are neither good nor evil. Only Man makes the choice.
