Why is knowing you're naked evil?
Their eyes were opened to good and evil and the first thing they noticed was they were naked. Why is the naked body an evil? If the sin is still with us, why do babies like being naked until they're told it's an evil?

In context, it was a fear based on observing yourself and being 'above'
the other animals. It's taken from Mesopotamian mythology.

It was that they (adam & eve) had gone ahead and acquired knowledge by eating from the tree, something that they were told not to do. Yes they found out they were naked but God had not told them that; therefore it was that they had done this thing (ate from the tree) that was evil. This eating from the tree was taking things into their own hands apart from God.
It was God's intention to teach the first human couple and all humans from start to eternity. This is the way God wanted it and it was his desire. When with Satan's help the purpose of God's was temporarily thwarted, there was another plan put into motion. Now God intends to have back humans who want to follow his direction but this new plan involved another purpose. There was a means to an end; this means involved using imperfect humans to fill the Earth under the direction of themselves, influenced by Satan, and letting the process happen to show that man looking after his own affairs apart from God would not work. I think the plan is near completion and nearly time for God to step back in to rescue faithful mankind and restore them back to what was lost.
Getting back to being naked. It was not a bad thing to realize their nakedness; it was a bad thing to not trust in God and his direction. This bad thing has definitely sent us down a road of trouble right from the very start. It will be a joy to once again, as a follower of God be under his direction and benefit by learning things at the right time by his telling us at the right time.

You are thinking that their nakedness is evil in and of itself. But you are not taking into account that they were naked before they disobeyed God and were not ashamed. They had no inclination of shame before they disobeyed God. But it was due to being covered by God, and they knew they were naked because of the absence of the Spirit, the glory of God, which had covered them.
We are dealing with each other, i mean human beings, and have not the power that satan has. But when Adam and eve ate the fruit that God said not to eat less they die, well when they did, what happened is what we read of in Romans 6: 16. "Know you not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, to them you become servants to obey" THE POWER BEHIND THE WORDS FROM A SPIRITUAL BEING IS MIGHTIER THAN THE WORDS SPOKEN FROM HUMANS. As the door of the heart had swung open to their new found master, and said you guys are naked, and the power behind the words filed with hatred and variance and shame made them go and hide themselves. Those words would have never been spoken by God who covered them previously, with His glory.
People all over the world are being hurt by words, i heard a story of a man who said when he was two and a half years old, when sticking his little hand through a chain link fence, to take hold of a bright yellow chick,(a chicken chick) and when trying to bring it back through the Triangle whole squeezed it to tight and it went limp and it died. The fifteen year old sitter, from behind screamed at him calling him a murderer. She didn't know what impact that word would play out in this little boys life, in the heart and mind of that toddler; but that baby went through hell nightmares torments, hair loss, nervousness, fear, everything imaginable the devil did against this babies mind and emotions robbed this child of its innocence.
When ministering to this man both my wife and i wept, as he said he felt the word go into him and corrupted him. He said it made him feel the guilt of being a murderer, and the ravages the sin of a murderer. Satan unleashed against this little guy, and affected him well into his thirties.
People all over the world are suffering under sins death.
Go up to a prostitute, who doesn't mind prostituting, and call her a prostitute, and watch her foil like a sheet of aluminum foil. Words can kill.
Call a thief a thief, and watch him break up.
Tell a person who has a weight problem that they are fat, and watch them go into shell shock.
Yes i know satan told Adam and Eve they were naked and fear gripped their heart and soul, and they went into hiding. Ever since Adam and Eve sinned, satan has coined words that murder the soul, and we have all heard them and used them, God has indicted man saying that the poison of asp is under their tongue, and that he is swift to shed blood, misery and destruction is in his ways, the way of peace have they no known, Romans 3: 10-18, is the list of indictments against outlaw man.

Who said it was evil, it's how they spent all their time. It was only after they died spiritually that they knew they were naked, they no longer saw in the spirit realm.
