If Adam and Eve hadn't sinned we would deffinantly still be living in a paradise. He told them to fill the earth and subdue it. Because they sinned thats why we have the sickness, diease, poverty and things today. God purpose has and will never change he still gives us hope that we will end up their again one day as long as we obey his word the bible. We all however have free will and are prone to making mistakes and sinning

The Bible was written by man, it's kinda like the game tell one person something and by the time it gets around the circle the story has changed dramatically. My point is was there ever an Adam and Eve, was there ever a Garden of Eden? Don't really know or think so but if there was the dinosaurs would have eaten the tree and everything in the garden therefore we not all be in the Garden of Eden.

The garden of Eden was one small part of earth that God originally prepared for the first couple. But it is obvious that life extended beyond that one garden. Given its size, only a couple hundred square miles, it could not have held all the animals, let alone additional human population.

Mankind was told to be fruitful and multiple and replenish the earth before the fall took place. (The "eating of the apple" had nothing to do with sex, as God had already told them to do it before the fall).

Had they not sinned, they would have passed their innocent nature on to their children. Together, they would have done exactly what God told them, filling and controlling the entire earth. Only without sickness, disease, wars, famines, disasters and death.

Some would have continued to live in the original garden, but most would have expanded out and made an Eden of the enitre earth.

Yes but would we be happy? Adam and Eve were in a state of ignorance, so there was no benefit in thier being good as they did not know any different. It was only when they ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge that God "accidently" left right in front of them that they became fully aware and human with the capacity to experience both good and evil, leave the garden and enter real life. This is called the fortunate fall. Before they were really glorified garden gnomes.

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.

no longer till they "ate the apple", and that i'm no longer altogether particular what the "apple" signified. I extremely have examine different suggestions. God did create the corporation of marriage, no longer guy. Adam and Eve have been "married" interior the eyes of God, so as that they weren't "residing in sin". Hawaii in all threat did no longer exist then. i think of the Bible says the full earth replaced into one landmass at that factor, if I remember wisely. i do no longer think of that God needed to be certain them "fall". i think of he needed them to be suitable. i've got faith God replaced into rooting for them, hoping they could bypass the attempt. Then, even after the fall, he did no longer provide up on them. "psychological jousting", this is quite what this is all approximately, isn't it? a brilliant number of atheists basically seem to desire to be certain Christians discomfited, i think of.

Nope. God gave us free will, and only one decision to make; leave the world perfect, or change it. There's only so long people can make the same decision over and over before we want to try something else. It was a set up from the beginning.

I think you should first include the fact that your christian in the title question,...because personally I don't even think the "Adam and Eve", you've come to love in your little story books ever really existed.

Would a benevolent God punish all the billions of people who have ever lived for the mistake of two individuals?
In case it isn't obvious, I don't believe Genesis was meant to be taken literally.
