If the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowlege of good & evil was to give them said knowlege, how then would they have had the wisdom to have made the right choice in the 1st place?

Even if they did not have knowledge of good and evil, they had free will. They had a choice to listen to God or to disobey him. They chose to disobey God and therefore sinned.

If you want the true account of Adam & Eve you need to read what Jesus said in The Apocryphon of John. Pray for spiritual discernment and your question will be answered.

The wisdom was whether or not to trust God. They chose to trust themselves.
Plus, this is not God's plan B. This has been the plan all along. Man is still responsible for his choices though God is sovereign. It is an antinomy. We will not likely sort it out this side of heaven.

Fifth,
They were evidentally told by GOD and expected to listen to the Commands that HE had Given. Satan was not one who was supposed to be giving them orders yet Eve followed his advice instead of GOD's... BAD CHOICE! Have a wonderful day.
Thanks,

They did sin.
God gave them a direct command not to eat from that tree. They had a whole garden of trees to pick from, but they ate from the tree that they were not supposed to eat from. Thus sin and death entered into the world.

It would only be a sin if this God wanted to keep them from having freewill!
To say as some Christians do that the original sin was disobedience is silly. That would be like telling a jury that a child molester was really only disobedient. Get real! That is silly!
Why don't Christians just admit their God was opposed to freewill! At least then they would be honest with themself about this God!

knowledge of what is good and what is evil, but they still had the knowledge of "I can listen to God, or not listen to God. Which is more profittable for me". similar to how animals evaluate things.

That's the point of religion. It is to prevent people from having knowledge through fear.
Man could have lived in ignorant happiness in Eden for ever, presumably, but he set out on a path to knowledge and was damned.

If Adam and Eve's story was true, then still no.
