As a botanist of 30+ years experience, I can tell you that there is no "tree of knowledge". Whatever God had planted in the Garden of Eden was lost to humans the day that Adam and Eve were driven out. It would have been a completely unique tree, the like of which is not found in any mundane forests.
Firstly, it was not the "tree of knowledge" but the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil." I am sure that God had absolutely no problem with His people having "knowledge", in it's pure form - knowledge was necessary for them to fulfil their mandate of filling the world, subduing it and ruling over it.Has anybody ever thought what tree or plant the tree of knowledge may have been ? Or there is another chance it was purely fictional.
Anyone care to debate ?
Rather, what made it the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" was God's command not to eat of it: when they did eat from the tree, they knew evil - not in some esoteric fashion, or as an intellectual understanding, but in the very practical experiential sense that they had done evil.

#1.......what does it matter what kind of tree it was?
#2.......it certainly is not fiction.
I don't think it is a debate. if it goes that far to make it 1 then it has no meaning. Don't go there bro# 1 curious thought
# 2 and you know that for sure ?? it could be an option, it's a debate

You are right, we will never find anything by going there, but we are all tempted to think
