No Shame

Genesis 2, 25

Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden felt no shame in the beginning although they were naked.

They were created in the image of God but did not have eternal life or the knowledge to discern from good and evil, although both these were represented in the garden.

God allowed them to eat from every tree in the garden, except for the tree of knowledge. Thus as long as they stayed in the garden, they would be able to live forever.

Somehow, although they did not have the knowledge to discern good from evil, evil must have been present, how else would the tree of knowledge have a presence in the garden?

Did God create us with the capability of being, or was that introduced by the snake in Genesis 3?
