just point out that according to the Bible, we are made in God’s image, and since he has a sense of good and evil, therefore so do we.

I think in Christian lore, that's supposed to be the role of the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2–3). It's fruits are forbidden. Serpent, original sin.

Bottom line it does not change your argument, since all humans after that point in the story have that ability. Just the reason is different.
