So as someone who read the bible quite a lot when he was still Catholic - Humanity gets knowledge of Good an Evil by eating from the Tree of Knowledge. Before then, there were no evil acts - that’s why it is called the Original Sin.
Like I get what you’re going for but if you’re going to try to parody actual religious claims you should know the basics.
I’m a former catholic, and therefore did not need to read the bible ;). I wasn’t attempting a proper debate with apologetics etc. just a tongue-in-cheek comment. Catholics would actually indeed view this as a facile argument because it has been debated for centuries. It’s still a fair point, ie that an omnipotent god who already knows the outcome of your free will should still make you choose. There are many well-reasoned responses to this, but at the core of it, you must still rely on “faith” rather than anything empirical. I’m what you’d call a “doubting thomas”
