What would the world be like if Adam and Eve didn't disobey god?

Question

The bible is really a fairy tale?

Adam and eve aren't real?!

Answer 1

No different, you see God already knew that they were going to disobey him. That is why he gave us free will in the first place. If he didn't want people thinking and doing things on their own, then he would have just not given us a free will in the beginning. But, he chose to and that is why we now have to prove that we are worthy and have faith in him.

It's like when your a parent and you tell a little kid not to touch the burner because it's hot, you know that kid is going to want to touch it and does. Then he learns his lesson. Right now as we are all disobeying God everyday, we are learning our lesson, and excepting the consequences for our decisions. But, it's o.k. (for some) it will all be alright in the end. He will forgive as he says and is just testing our true love and faith for him, without doing it on his own. He is the parent we are the child, and everyday is a blessing and a learning experience for all. He watches us crash and burn, and also thrive and prosper. But, he knows our fate anyway, and ultimately is full controller of it.

So really it would never be any different because he wanted us to make our own choices in life. He is just waiting for our success.

Answer 2

Let's assume for a moment that there were such people as Adam and Eve and God; the Garden of Eden; and so on. Then, if all that is correct, and A&E never disobeyed, none of us would have ever been born. Death and childbirth were consequences of the eviction from Eden. If A&E hadn't disobeyed, they'd still be there, and still be alive, without children.

Of course all that is only IF the first part is true ...

Answer 3

If Adam and Eve didn't disobey god then the world would be a perfect place.

Answer 4

I will preface this answer by stating that that story has no literal truth whatsoever... its a fable to introduce the concept of rebellion against "god" and attempt (very poorly) to explain how we all got where we are today.

However, hypothetically, if that is the way it all went down and you are of the camp that believes that god is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent then there's no other way it could happen. He knew by tempting them what their choice would be and did it anyway... according to this story we were entrapped into this life. It's the illusion of free will that Christianity turns actual free will into.

If SOMEHOW they were able to hold out up til now on that delicious piece of fruit it seems they would still be around chillin in the garden, we would never have existed.

Answer 5

The problem is, why didn't God foresee this and continued with creation? God should have known and could have prevented it. Just like if you knew that your child was going to get into trouble and you prevented it in some way. It's either not true, or God is one of the greatest mysteries of all time. Could you imagine it, because Eve eat a fruit and God prohibited it, we are all in jeopardy of going to hell. It's incredible!

Answer 6

The world would be a real snake pit. There would be no free will, and for Will Smith that would be a real shame. I come to no good when I am feeling evil, however tempting it might be to keep in God's good graces. The apple did not fall too far from the tree.

Answer 7

Love all the truth and life in the so called "fairy tale".

If Adam and Eve hadn't done it one of their kids would have.

The good news is that Jesus Died for us so we can live in the "new Eden", Heaven. Great news, eh!

Answer 8

the bible is NOT a fairy tale. if they didnt disobey god, which they did, someone else would have. we are not perfect u know.

Answer 9

(i belive in science, not fairy tales)

Answer 10

Are you serious? Adam and Eve are characters from religious mythology, they're not real.
