RE: Natural Theology

Sir, was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil supernatural in itself, despite its natural appearance, or did it become supernatural because of the boundary (law) set by God?

I think it's the second. Though Adam was sinless, God gave a special revelation concerning the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Such a revelation is not special in the sense that it was salvific; it is more of a "confirmation" of his sinless state. I forgot the exact term reputable Reformed theologians used to describe the function of such a kind of revelation.

And before the fall, was natural revelation sufficient for Adam to know God truly, even before the need for special revelation? And how did Adam’s unfallen mind interpret nature in a way that was fully aligned with God’s intention?

This is not an easy question. I never encountered this idea in my reading. I can only give a tentative answer that can be revised later in case I am mistaken.

I think yes, natural revelation was sufficient to know God truly in a sinless state. As for Adam's interpretation of nature, since he is living a God-centered life, his interpretation is fully aligned with God's intention. He was simply living as God's analog.
