There is a huge "tell" in the story of Adam and Eve. It comes when
God says that if Adam and Eve know what good and evil are, they will become
like him! The writer is clearly telling us that we do know what good and
evil is. And that we are not without the qualities that would - and could -
make us at least somewhat better than we are. What the writer does not mention
is that we would ignore this knowledge for centuries in deference to forces
that have in fact been evil.
