OT
So, even though Eve didn't sin by disobeying a directive from God in her speech with the serpent, she may have lied. Perhaps we don't have the whole conversation that God had with Adam and Eve. Perhaps God did indeed tell them to not touch the fruit. But we don't have record of it.
Why you want to know, didn't I already told you that knowledge leads to death?
Thank You.
===================================================================================================================
How did Eve know that disobeying God would be wrong before eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, only after which she would have known it was wrong?
"Wow"... so she didn't want to disobey: she just wanted to know death.
That was illuminating.

This wouldn't be my interpretation. Regardless, it was just a question for BADecker to ponder. How/why does someone want something if they lack any knowledge of whether it's good or bad?
Part of the answer is in entropy. The creation happened a minimum of 6,000+ years ago. We don't know exactly how much knowledge and understanding Adam and Eve were given. We don't have their kind of great ability to think, because of entropy. Until we have some detailed writings from back then, we may never know what they thought about, or the knowledge they had from God.
