Best Answer

A:

Giving the tree its full name, it was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and was well known in ancient Near Eastern mythology. Some say the fruit of this mythic tree gave insight into what was right and wrong, knowledge otherwise only known to the gods. Others say that to the ancients, everything in the world was either good or evil, so to eat this fruit was to know everything. Either way, Genesis 3:22 says that by eating the fruit of this tree, Adam became god-like: "now the man is become like one of us."
