Why did God give man intelligence and then forbid it?s use?

Adam and Eve are our archetypal first humans. All humans are to emulate them.
They were not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil that gives us our moral sense.

Without this knowledge we would basically be as dumb as cows because without knowledge of good and evil, we would have no knowledge of most of what we know. Almost no dialog can take place without this knowledge as almost all issues have a good and evil aspect. Intelligence then cannot progress without this knowledge.

Why then would God want more baser animals instead of the intelligent man that has developed thank to Eve eating of the tree of knowledge?

Without moral sense we would not know why we follow God.
Sheeple instead of people in biblical terms.

Why does God want to keep man dumb instead of intelligent?

Why stifle man instead of letting him go to his full potential?

Man chose that route to potential but it seems that some think that God was right.

Was He or was man right to reach for a moral sense?

Would you stop Eve and lose YOUR moral sense?

@Greatest I am cv,

"we would basically be as dumb as cows because without knowledge of good and evil, we would have no knowledge of most of what we know"

You know nothing other than what you think you know.

If, you are a thinker only.

To be truly spiritual, beyond the beliefs and conditions the mind imposes on reason, is to have access to another level of perception.

All that you have stored within the mind believing it to be gold, has lost the majority of it's value in light of this new found sight. Still useful, as it helps you navigate this life, but things like religion and deities have no further power over you.

You have woke up, while billions around you still sleep. Their dreams are the world around you. You have no expectation of change, as the nature of this world has a purpose to serve, but you can still wake those you like so they may see the reality of it.

Most will go back to sleep. But their dreams will bear the fruit of this seed I plant.
