The bible says that by partaking of the fruit of whatever, Adam did something that was not wished by "God", whether accidental or not, but in the same sense, wasnt that exactly what "God" had planned for the continuation of humanity?

I believe that, no, God did not "plan" it this way. But, I think that God knew that humans were going to be weak. Yes, I know that that sounds like a contradiction, but, honestly that is the best that I could come up with. I cannot speak for God, but I know that He knows best.

Keep in mind that even though the Lord planned salavation from the foundations of the world and that He knew that adam &eve would sin. He created man with a freewill. He has always given man the choice to follow God or reject Him. When they ate of the fruit on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil it was just that. It had nothing to do with continuation of humanity.
You are correct God commanded them to be fruitful and multiply but in the confines of marriage only!!!

Not exactly. Just like God does with us today, he gives us choices in our lives and we decide which way to go. If Adam hadn't eaten the apple, then God would still have a plan to make a world full of people, only guess what, free from sin and much happier to boot!!!!!!!!

Humanity could have been continued without sin, had none occurred in the first place. It wasn't accidental; according to Genesis 3, Adam was with his wife when she took the fruit.

Oh My God, does he even know Your Word?! ??....and you, yes you, the questioner... are getting this particular piece of scripture from...where?????? the fruit of whatever?? accidental???? in the same sense??? God planned this???
The Bible (with a capital "B") does say, "Seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be open, ask, and it shall be given you", Perhaps actually OPENING the world's all-time best seller might be of some assistance....brother.

No. All God planned was for man to live and have relationship with Him. Unlike the angels, man was created to have a choice to serve and worship God. But God knew with the power of choice man would be self serving but He did it any way. and with the foreknowledge of man going his own way God planned out a plan of redemption so that he could bring man back to Himself and that was Jesus. so as it was in the beginning so it shall be in the end.
In Genesis God and man coexisted and in Revelation again God will coexist with man.

No, God gave Adam the free will to choose to bite the apple that Eve had chosen first anyway.

In a way you are right because God knew the ending before the begining.

BBE: I am the giver of light and the maker of the dark; causing blessing, and sending troubles; I am the Lord, who does all these things.
DBY: forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.
KJV: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
JPS: I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am the LORD, that doeth all these things.
WBS: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
WEB: I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
YLT: Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and preparing evil, I 'am' Jehovah, doing all these things.'
