We say in the 4th beracha of shemoneh esrei that G-d gave us knowledge and we thank him for this. Yes, obviously everything comes from G-d, but in the beginning of humankind we had no knowledge, and only attained it once Adam ate from the Tree of Knowledge. So Hashem didn’t give us knowledge purposely, it sorta happened by accident and unintentionally. So why do we thank G-d for giving us knowledge if he didn’t really give it to us, but rather we took it?
