At the point that man became conscious of good and evil, or, if you will, at the point that man became "as one of us."

That is a good argument, but unfortunately it doesn't take into account the very crux of the Fall, which is man's choice to disobey God. If man simply became "aware" of good and evil, and did not choose it, then there is no argument for the Fall, which is central to Christian theology.

So God didn't create man, man created man by becoming "self aware"? sounds very 2010ish to me like Hal becoming self aware and he takes over the ship...
