Well, think about it. God punished mankind because Adam and Eve sinned. He loved Adam and Eve and they loved him back. They had a good relationship. they really knew God. So if God were to create like lets say 100 people. What would be the chances of more people sinning?! Instead of 1 person sinning like Eve(i know adam sinned too but eve was first) there could be like 10 people that sinned. So in fact God was giving man kind a better change with only creating Adam and Eve.

God didn't leave the fate of anybody in Adam and Eve's hands. You have the freedom to make any choice in your own life. Everyone has the choice to decide his/her fate. But if you don't make a decision somebody will make it for you--either consciously or unconsciously. That's why they call it fate. It's an acronym for For All Thoughts Everywhere.

In case you didn't know, there were other people on earth besides Adam & Eve. Otherwise, how would their children have found mates? God leaves the fate of humanity in the hands of humanity. Too bad they can't handle it.

You got it half right. He “did leave the fate of humanity in the hands of two people”(not Adam and Eve): Adam and Christ. In Scripture Christ is referred to as the last Adam and the second man. The understanding of this is key to many concepts in Scripture. In Adam, all die, in Christ all live. We are all born into Adam; it is only by the cross and our co-death with Christ that can we get out of Adam and by the new birth thru co-resurrection, can we get INTO Christ.

You forgot the third and fourth persons.
Jesus and you
So what are you gonna do? Since Jesus fixed what Adam broke and gave you the chance to get fixed too. Who is really the fate of humanity?
Besides we are all sinners. Adam and Eve just represented what we all would have done.

The story of Adam and Eve is a metaphor for the consequences of personal choice if that choice goes against the church.

Free will...God wanted mankind to serve him because they loved him not because they feared being destroyed. Since Adam and Eve thought they knew so much more that God by dissobeying him and eating of his tree of knowledge he needed to let the rest of the situation to unfold just to prove that mankind needs a true God because mankind cant direct thier own step..But after Jesus died for mankinds sins we are now able to take accountablity of our own future by doing what is right.

Well actually, the fate of humanity is now in the hands of Jesus.
Romans 5:17
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

Why do you think He did? Just because God did not stop their free will does not mean our fate was left to only two people. Personally, I believe my fate (and yours) is left to God.

Why not?
He gave man the choice. We could have had the perfect world, no war, peace, love, and happiness.
God doesn't work like that. He gives us a choice. The choice between good and evil. God wants us to choose to believe in him, or get lost in society.
He wants us to have options, not dictate what we do.
