Human beings already evolved from primates, by the time God Revealed Himself to His Creation. The Serpent didn't tempt primates, he tempted human beings.

And knowledge & wisdom are not gifts from the Devil, they are Gifts Of the Holy Spirit (God) (Isaiah chapter 11, verses 1 - 2).

The story is allegorical for the evolution of man from beast. At some point an ape became a man. This is what the ancients tried to explain with the story of Adam and Eve. At some point you have to reconcile the fruit from the tree of knowledge, given by Satan to man, with gifts given later by the Holy Spirit. It's not black and white.

First of all, Satan didn't give ANYTHING to man. Simply telling someone to eat something that they are not supposed to, is not giving them anything. That tree with its fruit was there for them to eat at any given time, but, until Satan came along, the first couple was willing to obey God.

While yes, the first few chapters of the Book of Genesis is allegorical for evolution, the part about man evolving from animals had already occurred, by the time of the eating of the forbidden fruits. Genesis chapter 1, verse 26: And God Said "Let us make man in our own image and likeness, let us make him in command of all the fish in the sea, and and all that flies in the air, and the cattle, and the whole earth...." Man's disobedience to God, via the temptation of the Serpent, was the ancients explaining why we do horrible things, ever since we evolved from primates.

Even right in this very day, we have "Forbidden Fruits." Young people are not permitted to a)drink anything with alcohol; b)smoke tobacco; c)smoke or do narcotics (actually, many of the last item are forbidden no matter how old you are). So, kids try to go out of their way to have these things, & often times, end up in serious trouble.
