whereu,

The reason given to me for making the tree of knowledge available was to give Adam the opportunity of obeying or disobeying God - that is their free will (that is another point of debate, but let's go along with it for now).

But then we are told it was eating fruit from this tree that gave them the ability to distinguish between good and evil. Unless they knew the difference between good and evil, how did they know that going against God's instruction to eat the fruit in the first place was evil? - unless they gained this knowledge through disobeying God and eating the fruit.

Anybody wish to explain this?

They knew because God told them beforehand.

“You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
