I'm pretty certain the story of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and the expulsion from paradise is a parable about choosing between: a) Happy but ignorant b) Unhappy but well informed and the fact that humans instinctively choose the second option. It's not a warning that knowledge is bad, it's just an acknowledgment that it's better to know the truth, even when the knowledge makes us feel worse.
