Key Notes
The Eden tree Jiang says gives the mind of God or knowledge of good and evil.
The two trees are defined as the tree of knowledge, which gives the mind of God, and the tree of life, which gives life as long as God.
Humans are exceptional because they can make mistakes and learn from them after eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
