Well, if one considers the source material for much of Genesis, she or he will find that the E.DIN is where the "garden of the gods" was located. Those "gods" were the Anunnaki, translated as "those from heaven to earth came."

Nah, the "gods" as portrayed by the ancients were much like ourselves: physically present, capable of love, jealousy, hatred, revenge...

"Knowing" in the biblical sense is procreation.

For Enki so loved his creation, Mankind, he granted them the ability to procreate; they were hybrids after all, a found creature modified by the blood of another "god" meant to relieve the "gods" of their toil in the gardens and mines.
