If the Adam and Eve story were true and you had a time machine, would you stop Eve from biting the apple?

Question

You know, would it be better to be ignorant in paradise or to have have the knowledge of good and evil in this world.

Come on people, why are you so concerned about the paradox of time travel? You would not cease to exist simply because you altered history. You would still have your own history, however, you would have altered the past in a parallel universe, indentical in every way until you changed it.

Or so the time travellers say. Infinite parallel universes. "Yeah, but what if you went back in time to your OWN universe,Trixwagen, and killed your great great grandmother! You woudn't exist and therefore you couldn't have gone back in time and killed her!" Sounds like going through time automatically puts you in a parallel universe, unless that is what happen in the first place. Don't you think?

And about the apple.. Yes, I heard if it was a fruit, it probably was not an apple. I read a book that said it was a mushroom. Hmmm. Yeah, I said apple to dumb the question down..keep the popular references. Ok?

Answer 1

If woman wants to taste something, you can't stop her... And no, I would not.

Answer 2

Let me give you a quick lesson on the predestination paradox in the subject of time travel. No, nobody would stop Eve from biting the apple if the story was true because nobody did stop Eve from biting the apple. If somebody 350 years from now was able to travel back in time, they would only be able to fulfill history, not change it. Therefore, since we know that Eve bit the apple, we know that it is too late to be changed. But anyway, the story is not true, it's a metaphorical explanation of our existence.

Answer 3

If we would go back in time to stop Adam and Eve from eating the able we would not have exist. The things of the world exist because they defied God. Remember the punishment for what Eve did was a woman able to reproduce and have menstration.

Answer 4

No, because as we all know from science fiction stories, if you go back in time, you must NEVER ever change something because you could change history negatively. (although everything always worked out okay for Scott Bakula on Quantum Leap.) Maybe I wouldn't ever be born if I stopped Eve. In fact, I am sure I wouldn't because one of my grandma's was born out of wedlock and that was sin, so if there was no sin, she wouldn't have existed and therefore, neither would I!

Answer 5

Absolutely, I would stop her. We might still be in the garden of Eden and women would not suffer in child birth with great pains! That was part of her punishment for eating the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. It is all in Genesis in the Bible.

Answer 6

Yes but then I would eat the apple myself to purposely go against god's will. I'd eat all of the apples and then cut the tree down.

Answer 7

And miss all this FUN! What - you ain't enjoying yourself! Bite - Adam should have ate the whole thing - all he did was bite the apple! Eve should've have cooked that wimp an apple pie!

Answer 8

Nope. I wouldn't have because I am still a selfish individual that is glad to be on this earth with my family and freinds. It would have just been Adam and Eve I wouldn't have existed.

Answer 9

The bible doesn't say Eve ate an apple. I believe the sin was the pear (pair) on the ground.

Answer 10

No, I wouldn't stop her from biting the forbidden fruit. However, I would make Adam evict her from Eden before he ate it himself... just to see how things would have turned out.

Answer 11

On one hand, had she not bit the apple we would be happier, or so we think. By her biting the apple we now have something to compare or good days, to our bad.
