But maybe God's plan was for people to get there on their own, not by eating the magical fruit and becoming God-like without having learnt anything.
Something that confuses me is when people say Jesus and God are basically one and the same. If I remember correctly, Jesus has multiple conversations with God in the Bible and even begs him to save Jesus from crucifixion. To me that sounds more like God picked a human to-be-born and gave him the necessary knowledge to qualify as the son of God. The Holy Ghost, for that matter, always seemed to me more like a special kind of angel. The concept of the Trinity confuses me.
