Adam and Eve were put in the Garden of Eden by Jehovah God to take care of the earth. They also were to "be fruitful" and fill the earth with the population of children.
Jehovah God's purpose for the earth has not changed. (Isaiah 55:10,11; 18: "For this is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens, He the [true] God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited: “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else." (Please see also Malachi 3:6.)
If you would like further information, please contact Jehovah's Witnesses at the local Kingdom Hall. Or visit http://www.watchtower. org

Adam and Eve were created perfect and designed to live forever.They were placed in a garden paradise and told to fill the earth and subdue it.That was God's purpose - to have the earth filled with perfect righteous humans all worshipping Him.Living in peace and harmony,at peace with the earth and the animals.
However,due to their disobedience,they lost all that for their offspring.But Jehovah promises to fulfil His original purpose and in His due time,obedient mankind will again have the wonderful prospect of life everlasting

I don't know who "even" is. But when I meet Adam I am gonna bash his head in for having left mankind in such a state.

Have fellowship with God. Unfortunately, that fellowship was broken until our full redemption is complete in Revelation 20-21.

To live as a mindless pet of god. Silly if you think about it. If the bible is correct, then god wanted some pets. Otherwise he would have been smart enough to give them free will to start with.

To have fellowship with God. Mankind was created with free will to have the choice to be with God and obey him or not.
Wouldn't you like it better if someone wanted to be around you because of your actions and not because you forced them to for what ever reason?

Adam & Ever were not farmers until they "sinned."
Farming was a curse, they did not till the land in the Garden.
According to the book of mythology, God invented them to keep him and his friends entertained.
But,. it doesn't matter, it's mythology.
