If adam had not been tempted by eve would we still be naked? Would we have the knowledge that we have now?

If you realy want to call it knowledge.
The story of the knowledge of good and evil is metaphoric in nature and it refers to judgment. Before the fall everything was known to have come from God so all of it was know to be good. Judgment or the knowledge of good and evil was the start of our discontent. It was where we started to put Gods gifts to us into categories, with some being seen as more acceptable than others did.
From that moment we were never happy because we were always striving to get something better never completely happy with what we had.
The lesson here is that the garden never actually changed at all. We only started seeing it differently.
The option to suspend judgment is available to us at any time. At any moment we can go back to the realization that everything that is given to us by God is a gift that can assist us in our spiritual growth. There is never a moment this option is not open to us.
All that is necessary is that we pass one final judgment. That is we must realize that judgment is the problem and we must stop judging if we want to return to the true reality that the garden has always been.

No sir we wouldn't, before Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of the tree of life, we would of still walked around naked, we didn't have knowledge of superficial things. well adam and eve. will the tree of knowledge we learned good and evil things. God asked adam how did they know they were naked, there is no reason for clothing, god was very angry, he made women have pain in child birth, and the man would have to fight the ground, and woman feelings will always yearn for the man. thats why today women are very emotional and does dumb things for the love of a man. God put amosity between the serpent( satan)and the women because she will bear the child that will kill him, and Jesus will able to save everyone in the end. in the begining god told the end. and another thing god put on ppl is back then ppl days were longer on earth. but he took away time for man here on the earth, and made their days fewer in numbers. we were to live here forever, but since the truth of evil was released on earth. he had to prepare a place where that won't be allowed.

I believe (not that it matters) that we would be naked and living some sort of utopic existence not unlike the one Adam and Eve had in the Garden. The question of whether or not we'd have our knowledge would be in the hands of God, since we acquired a lot of what we know with ulterior motives in mind.

I think so because if Adam & Eve did not sin, innocency & purity will still remain..we'll have no malice...
what we have now is human knowledge, if man didn't fall into sin we still have divine or heavenly knowledge..but even if we are living now in human standard we can still gain heavenly knowledge through reading & studying the Word of God..

God supposed to make both Adam and Eve a pair of zombie like creatures. Fortunately or unfortunately they awake their sensory thru eating the fruit of knowledge. That's according to the Babble.
You believe that? Your ancestor was transformed from dust while your female ancestor was formed using his partner's rib?
The Babble claimed to have a unbroken record of the day of Adam till Jesus and that work out to be mere 6,000~ 8,000 yrs.
So homo sapiens was created by sand/ dust and not thru evolution some millions of years ago??
Time to burn scientific books! They are blasphemy !

Adam and Eve became ashamed of their nakedness after they sinned, so they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. At Gen. 3:11, God said, "Who told you that you were naked?" So it was not God's original intent for men to wear clothes. It was only after they sinned that they realized they were naked. If they had not sinned, then all mankind would still be perfect and therefore not ashamed to be naked.

Yes, but perhaps our learning process would be somewhat different as we were given the two. I suggest that we might only have the one instead .
By the way naked of the flesh not the leaf

The devil tempted Adam, not Eve.

Hmmm... and what makes you think that we would be here yet? Adam and Eve did not have children until AFTER they were thrown out of the Garden of Eden
