A popular explanation for the "Garden of Eden" story in the old testament is
that it was intended to explain mankind's transition from hunter-gatherers
to farmers. Eating of the tree of knowledge is part of that explanation: in
the process of gaining "knowledge" men learned how to farm.

In farming people control animals, plants and the environment and thus they
strive to become like gods. People gain control of food, clothing, shelter
and other goods and services through the creation of private property and
then they engage in trade with their property (capitalism). Through
capitalism, people improve upon the God-created state of nature in the
so-called "Garden of Eden" where subsistence living occurs because
everything is communal, un-owned and socialistic. Instead of the Garden of
Eden, people create the Garden of Eating (and the abundance of clothing,
shelter and all goods and services).

Even in modern times, egomaniacal socialists have tried to maintain god-like
powers to impose communal living, and destroy capitalism and private
property. It created shortages, poverty, misery, and mass slaughter. It led
to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): ~60 million
killed under the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; ~50 million
under the Peoples' Republic of China; ~20 million under the National
Socialist German Workers' Party. See the work of Dr. Rex Curry (author of
