Why does God warn Adam and Eve to not eat the fruits of the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

If I were to suggest that the poo was in fact a swirl of chocolate ice cream, upon looking at it again you would not see that there is a poo, but an image as a poo... rather than as a swirl of chocolate ice cream, which you now see.

"Wittgenstein, as Le Penne explains, employs the rabbit-duck illusion to distinguish perception from interpretation. If you only see a rabbit, you would say "this is a rabbit," but once you become aware of the duality you would say "now I see it as a rabbit." You may also say "it's a rabbit-duck," which, for Wittgenstein, is a perceptual report."

faeces

From Brittanica

feces, also spelled faeces, also called excrement, solid bodily waste discharged from the large intestine through the anus during defecation. Feces are normally removed from the body one or two times a day. About 100 to 250 grams (3 to 8 ounces) of feces are excreted by a human adult daily.

A rose by any other name......

In Genesis it is sufficient to replace God with the inner voice of Eve and Adam.
It is their conscience that speaks, there is no God.

In this way the myth appears in all its glory.

In fact, it describes the birth of awareness of good and evil.
An awareness that caused our exit from the earthly paradise.
Which consisted of our own ignorance.

The practical effect of awareness of good and evil is then with Cain.
The first man to realize the evil committed.

God who speaks is in fact still the conscience of Cain.
And in fact Cain condemns himself.

Cain is a farmer, while Abel is a shepherd.
It is in fact the evolution of civilization that involves the development of awareness.

Cain is the first man aware of doing evil.
