Knowledge of good and evil are not the only reasons why Adam and Eve became as gods. Not only did they know good from evil, but they had been placed in a state to act upon that knowledge. Not only had they been placed in a state to act according to their will, but they had been given possession of physical bodies. In the pre-mortal world, the only beings who had such knowledge, freedom to act upon it, and a body of flesh and bones were Gods. The irony is that this great privilege was given to mortals in a state of probation, in effect, to see if they could use these principles wisely enough to become as God in every other way.
