The tree of life represents the emergence of humans from a state of animal like innocence to consciousness of self and consequence.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil. Personally, I don't believe it, but that's just me. Why would God place the knowledge of good and evil together? Wouldn't he want you to know of good. Then you have to think of yin and yang. You can't have good without evil. How do you know one, if you don't know the other? Anyway, God didn't tell Eve not to eat of the tree, he told Adam before Eve was created. I guess Adam didn't impress upon her how important it was not to eat of the tree... and people place all the blame on Eve. If it was so important and was going to ruining everything for everyone, why didn't God tell Eve also? Just my thoughts.

I don't think we all are related to Adam and Eve, some people act as though they have no knowledge at all.

What is the question? 'The book of Genesis?' is not a valid question.

right, that is metaphorically speaking. It could have been a library, and the branches were books, or who knows a freaking computer.
