Thank you for that Pastor, many visitors, guided by Jesus’s finger on the mouse button, who reach here are ignorant of the truth and love behind Genesis.

An interesting point is that in the time before Eve ate of the Fruit of The Tree of Knowledge, she did not know the difference between good and evil and thus the serpent had an easy job.

Thanks to the Bible and the inherited effect of Tree of Knowledge, we today know that it is wrong to disobey God but, of course, Eve did not, in fact, being a woman, she was probably only half aware of Who God was and just how important He is.

God also put a Tree of Life in the Garden – a tree that granted eternal life (Gen:3:22 and see also Re22:2 for added foliage effects.) This was the antidote to The Tree of Knowledge, which caused mortality.

However, prior to the fall, Adam and Eve were immortal and didn’t need The Tree of Life. (Perhaps the animals did?) So if Adam and Eve had eaten of Fruit of The Tree of Life (which wasn't forbidden) after they had eaten of the Fruit of The Tree of Knowledge, they would have been simultaneously immortal and have the knowledge of good and evil, which God must think is a bad thing.

(One wonders what would have happened if the serpent had had a few of the Tree of Life Fruits to hand out!)

I suspect that God placed both trees in Eden because He needed them for some reason and had nowhere else to put them.
