Sounds like Alan much like Adam was fooled by Satan into thinking he too could be like God.

the pentateuch is actually a variation of the sumerian mythology and what if... what ifff.... actually the taking of that fruit was THEFT?
not that humans cannot become like angels but that they cannot be permitted in the citadel of the angels if they are unable to recognise what a crime is
i recommend you read the book of Enoch to see just how clearly it states that angels are actually humans (you probably already knew they were breeding with humans and indeed there's a kinda ... artificial inscemination... scene in the Qur'an with Gabriel)
and i think the exact words were "you can be as gods" not "God" and "gods" is plural and means angels, like Elohim, which also means "the people of the light" and the Irish called this Aes Dana or Tuatha De Danaan (the people of the light).
it's staring us right in the face.
