You and I cannot see any better than Adam could when our mental eyes are blind on issues and without knowledge of them.
It seems that Yahweh put Adam in a catch 22. Damned to being mentally blind and as bright as a brick and unable to reproduce, or condemned to death.

knowledge, in general is less destructive than knowledge, of good and evil.
It was apparantly possible for adam to get along just fine without knowing the difference between right and wrong; in some ways I have reason to suppose all the problems we have are because we now cherish this thing.
