I asked this question last week and only non-religious people, for the most part, responded in spite of what I said. I would like a few more answers.
Adam and Eve were banned from Eden, and subject to pain, suffering, disease, old age, and eventually death, because of the curse of God as described in Genesis chapter 3. But if Adam's (and Eve's) sin applies only to them, then why are WE subject to Adam's curse? Why can't we just walk back into Eden and live forever, pain free and disease free, if we are not sinful too?
Obviously I am curious what is the Muslim, Mormon, and/or the Jewish explanation of why God allows suffering, pain and death.
