This comment assumes that someone other than God has the moral authority to define evil. If God doesn't define evil, then who does? If I say what God does is wrong and therefore evil, what am I really saying? Aren't I judging God? I dont even have the authority to judge other men, let alone God. If I had the authority to judge God, then between the two of us, which one of us is really God?

God knew men would eat of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Thus, giving man the ability to judge good and evil.

According to scholar Nathan French, the term likely means "the knowledge for administering reward and punishment," suggesting that the knowledge forbidden by Yahweh and yet acquired by the humans in Genesis 2–3 is the wisdom for wielding ultimate power.
