They had no knowledge of good and evil in the sense of the specific types of evil, but God did tell them what would happen if they ate from the tree....which means that God did provide them enough information to know not to do it. With that explained, I don't believe that they were not self-aware. I just think that their relationship with God had not been breached as of yet, so "awareness" as we would define it is was meaningless. The book of Genesis even states this when it says (paraphrasing) that they were naked but were not ashamed.
As for your disbelief, I can't blame you if you haven't encountered God as of yet. I pray that you will seek him and that he will reveal himself to you. The evidence of God is all around in this world that he has created. As for atheism and agnosticism, those beliefs have their own flaws that begs for even more questions.
Naked but not ashamed suggests to me they had no self-awareness. It's not disbelief I have. It's non-belief. There is a difference. I hold that just about everything is possible. I have seen no evidence of it. I would put some of the more powerful psychedelic experiences I've had up against your experience of god for sheer enlightenment any day. You might be amazed to know how reality unfolds before your eyes.
