The Garden of Eden Tree of Good and Evil

It seems to me when God did not want Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of good and evil, it was not that God did not want them/us to become knowledgeable but, it was that God knew we would not be able to manage such knowledge of good and evil. God knew with this knowledge we would be able to make a drug such as OxyContin, to relieve significant pain but, also, God knew that we would not be able to manage that knowledge, and some of us would get addicted and use the medicine for evil purposes. God knew we would discover minerals in the earth, such as coal, which could keep us warm in the winter and fire our industries. God seems to have known that we would not have been able to manage this knowledge and we would end up destroying God’s created earth to get more than we needed. We would want more of it, which is also known as greed. We would discover that coal could ‘make’ money and often more money than we really needed. So, it seems to me that we now possess the knowledge of good and evil, but we are not able to manage such knowledge very well. The knowledge of good and evil has become both a blessing and a curse or both good and evil for us.
