I'm pretty certain the story of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and the expulsion from paradise is a parable about choosing between:

a) Happy but ignorant

b) Unhappy but well informed

and the fact that humans instinctively choose the second option. It's not a warning that knowledge is bad, it's just an acknowledgment that it's better to know the truth, even when the knowledge makes us feel worse.

The knowledge of good and evil, if I recall correctly. That might apply to the peace prize but probably not to the prizes in physics or chemistry.

All Abrahamic religions? Islam does not call it the tree "of knowledge" and pursuit of knowledge is encouraged (at least in Islam).
