How did evil enter the world? Ans; the same way good entered the world.
It was not Adam that planted the tree.
But by eating the fruit, Adam chose to obtain the knowledge of good and evil, but he also chose death for all mankind.
Instead of blaming Adam for bringing death, let us thank him for the Knowledge of Good and evil that makes us like God and let's thank Jesus Christ for overcoming death for all mankind.
Because of Adam and Jesus Christ, we have the knowledge of Good and Evil and we would all resurrect to die no more.
you are actually thanking Adam for disobeying God and bringing death to you.
The wages of sin is death.

Please make your argument with Jesus Christ, I only quoted him.

And you show that your head does not work well for Christ did not say "If death has not come into the world man would abide alone, he would have no fruit."

There was no death when female Adam came to meet male Adam and she kept him company and they bore fruits.

So, go have your head and brain and soul repaired before you come back to read the Bible so that you stop reading it crazily.

We all know that we need the knowledge of good but do we also need the knowledge of evil?
A better question would be, does God our Father have the knowledge of both Good and Evil?
If God has this knowledge, then we his children also need this same knowledge. We are like God because of our knowledge of Good and evil.
God is the one who determines what is good and what is evil. God already told Adam what was evil and what was good. So Adam knows something is evil or good only when God told him so however, eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil means that Adam will no longer be dependent on God in knowing good and evil.
The result of this is sin God in his nature is holy, righteous, good, just. God's knowledge of good and evil is in holiness, love and righteous but human beings need to depend on God in other to live his life but however when Adam chose independence he separated himself from God, the result was sin and death.

Outside God is pain, judgment, God himself is life separating yourself from this life is nothing but death. That is what Adam and Eve did when they chose indepence from God by eating the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
In summary, God possessing the knowledge of good and evil is fitting because he is God but humans are not God it destroyed them through sin.
Anyone that eat from the tree of life becomes morally independent from God, the result is sin and death.

You claim that Adam had the knowledge of Good and evil before eating the fruit then, why did God say, "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil"
If Adam had the knowledge of good and evil there would have been no need for the tree or the fruit.
Now if you have kids, let's say a 2-year-old who does not have the knowledge of good and evil when they disobey you, would you give them the punishment of a disobedient 16 years old kid?

The fruit is the fruit of Knowledge of good and evil. If Adam knew good and evil, then he did not need the fruit.
Not true before Admam ate the fruit he knew that eating from the tree was bad because God told him however, after he ate from the tree, his nature now determine what is good or evil instead of God, that is why God asked him who told him he was naked.

Genesis 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

Before now Adam only knew what God told him.

note the word " the man has become like one of us" the knowledge of good and evil is part of God's nature in that he knew what was good or evil by himself. the knowledge of good and evil became part of man's inherent nature" that is what it means man became independent from God.

A two year old does not fully understand his actions unlike a sixteen year old. However, Adam was never like a two year old, he knew eating from that tree would bring death and he ate, so he knew the implications of his action.

You seem not to understand the words. God made the statement " the man has become like one of us" after the fruit was eaten. Man was not born with the knowledge of good and evil that was why God used the tense 'Man has become.' it is simple English Man has become...
Questions for you;
Why did God call it the tree of Knowlege of Good and Evil?
Have you never disobeyed God even after reading that the wages of sin is death?

Is it that difficult to grasped? You Adam does not possess the knowledge of good and evil himself but he knew it was evil to eat from the fruit.
A tree bear fruit of itself, God calls it the tree of knowledge of God and evil because anyone that eats the fruit of it will have a self awareness of what good and evil is.
Yes of cause nobody that has not sinned even while he or she knows the consequences.

Are you listening to yourself? Adam does not possess the knowledge of good and evil himself but he knew it was evil to eat from the fruit. In what world does this statement make any sense?
You also say "anyone that eats the fruit of it will have a self-awareness of what good and evil is." So, was Adam self-awareness of good and evil before eating the fruit?
You seem to be neither here nor there. Adam either had knowledge of right and wrong or he did not. Where really do you stand sir? You don't need to be controversial, this is so simple.

Adam cannot decide what is good or evil by himself except what God told him. I have repeated it over and over again.
Adam had no self awareness of what is good or evil except what God told him. Read my words in context and don't pull a line to confuse yourself.

You need to calm down, Adam did not obtain knowledge of Good and Evil from God telling him rather, he obtained it from eating the fruit which is what the bible teaches unless you don't agree with the bible.
That you actually believe that Adam acquired the knowledge of good and bad from God telling him and not from eating the fruit shows you do not agree with the bible. The Bible never taught that Adam learned Good and Evil from God telling him. So let's know if you have a problem with the bible's narrative.
Also, how would you interpret this scripture; Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Your opinion. Jesus came to die for sin. Read and understand 1 Cor 15. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

About Jesus Christ not needing to come..... correct.

About remaining in the garden ------ not correct

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
