It's because they ate the forbidden fruit that we have death. But through Jesus and accepting Him as our savior, we once again have another chance at eternal life. IF you are lost and living without Christ, Invite Jesus into your heart and life today.
John 3:16.-18

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

When Adam and Eve were created by God, they were without sin. But they became sinful when they disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit. If they had listened to God we would all be sinless today.

The "fruit" they ate was the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Once they ate it they gained the knowledge that they, as humans, were different than all the other animals. What is the fundamental difference between man and all other animals?

If Adam & Eve had not disobeyed Jehovah, they would be living somewhere on the Earth today in a Garden of Eden, a Paradise.

There are those who reason that, because of the very nature of the physical universe, the time must come when the sun will no longer shine and the earth will no longer sustain life. But are they correct? What does the Creator say—the One who brought into existence energy and matter, the One who originated the laws on which our existence depends?
Solomon penned these words: “A generation is going, and a generation is coming; but the earth is standing even to time indefinite.” But for how long? According to the literal rendering of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, it will be “to time indefinite.” What does that mean?
As to what the expression means in connection with the earth, we are not left in doubt. At Psalm 104:5 we are told: “He has founded the earth upon its established places; it will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.
Thus it is regarding the planet Earth on which we live that Jesus Christ taught his followers to pray to God: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.”—Matthew 6:9, 10.
Jehovah’s will is not for the earth to be inhabited by people who have no regard for its Owner and little love for one another. Long ago he promised: “Evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:9, 29) “The inhabited earth to come,” of which the Bible speaks, will be populated by people who fear God and sincerely love their fellowmen. (Hebrews 2:5; compare Luke 10:25-28.) So great will be the changes that take place under God’s heavenly Kingdom that the Bible speaks of “a new earth”—not a different globe, but a new human society that will live amid the paradisaic conditions that mankind’s Creator purposed from the time he began his earthly creation.—Revelation 21:1-5; Genesis 2:7-9, 15.
The establishing of that “new earth” will, of necessity, be preceded by great destruction—one surpassing anything that mankind has yet experienced. For the good of the earth itself and all who are truly grateful to its Creator, he will “bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” (Revelation 11:17, 18) God’s time for doing this is very near! When it is completed, will you be found among the survivors?

“Inherit the earth”—what an exciting prospect! But can we be sure that this is not just another crafty scheme designed to deprive people of something? Yes, we can. Since the earth is part of Jehovah’s marvelous creation, he as the Maker and Owner has the legal right to bequeath it to whomever he chooses. Through King David, Jehovah made this prophetic promise to His beloved Son, Jesus Christ: “Ask of me, that I may give nations as your inheritance and the ends of the earth as your own possession.” (Psalm 2:8) For this reason, the apostle Paul described Jesus as the one “whom [God] appointed heir of all things.” (Hebrews 1:2) We can, therefore, have full confidence that when Jesus said that the meek “shall inherit the earth,” he did so in good faith, and he has the proper authority to fulfill his promise.—Matthew 28:18.
2 Peter 3:6:
Peter writes that God brought the Deluge “upon a world of ungodly people,” while preserving Noah and his family; in this way “the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water.” (2Pe 2:5; 3:6) It may again be noted that the reference here is not to the destruction of the planet or of the celestial bodies of the universe, but it is restricted to the human sphere, in this case the unrighteous human society. It was that “world” that Noah condemned by his faithful course.—Heb 11:7.

If Adam and Eve had not eaten of the forbidden fruit, they would have had no sexual drive nor knowledge of sex. They would have no children, and we would not exist.

If they did not eat the forbidden fruit then there would be no other than them and we would not be reading this. Besides - I like apples.

Humans would still have a everlasting life. Though life would be way different. =)

When they ate the fruit, sin entered the world.

Jesus died on the cross so that our sins would be forgiven.

Everlasting life is in heaven and sin cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.

So I guess we would.
