An interesting question. One of the stickiest parts is because we don't know what would have happened had only one of their children eaten of the fruit. Would just he and his mate have been cast out, provided they both partook :) ? Would we have a partitioned world? God took the action He did based on the entirety of the human race being passed on Adam & Eve's fallen state, but what would God do if He had two perptuities? Presumably the "Garden" would still be hidden and sacrosanct today, with Adam and Eve and their unfallen offspring living happily in blessed ignorance (not a completely bad thing) while the rest of the world, offspring of the fallen child, lived out the destiny of the fallen as we do today.

The other option, of course, is that nobody falls. The tree remains untouched, and no human ever has knowledge of good or evil and remains blissfully unaware of the possibility of disobedience, the meaning of death, or the concept of sin and separation. That, I think, would be a verrrrry different world. Wouldn't we all like to live in a place where everyone hung out all day, picking off low-hanging fruit, perfect, naked and unashamed, no hang-ups, no worries?

Sounds nice :)

You know, another thought is, what about later fallings? What happens when another, say, great(to the 150th) grandchild falls? Is he then thrust into a technological world? God slew animals and gave Adam & Eve clothes. Would He give this person a suit, a tie, and a cheap flat in New York city and tell him to make his way? A Burger King uniform and a trailer in Lost Hills, California? Or would he be sent to his eternal destiny forthwith? I doubt the latter, but how do you answer the question? I can't :)

Adam and Eve did not really exist, so they could not eat anything. The tale of them did change the world, for it is accepted by the main offshoots of the ancient Hebrew religion: Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Mormonism. Science has shown this tale to be unreal. Bishop James Ussher studied the Bible and said creation was in 4004 B.C. Other Bible scholars tried it and arrived at dates from 3500 to 6500 or so B.C. Scientists have evidence that Earth is 4,700,000,000 years old and the Universe is about three times as old as Earth. The two creattion myths that begin Genesis are wrong scientifically, and if Adam and Eve did not exist to eat forbidden fruit, religions who believe such myths have no basis in Reality.

Yes, if it werent for Eve listening to the devil, sin wouldnt have been born. If eve hadnt eaten the forbidden fruit the world we know today wouldnt be as hard,cold, cruel, violent as it is today. But I think if it wasnt eve that ate the forbidden fruit it was gonna be someone else, because I heard that God planned the earths destruction from the beggining.

Life as we know it would not exist, because they would still be happily sitting in the Garden of Eden and would have had no reason to go out and populate the earth. We would not BE here!

Ermm, considering that was just a story I don't think it would make much difference, except perhaps to education classes.

Would the world have been different if the Brontes, Dickens, Shakespeare etc hadn't written their classics?

Um, it is barely 0.5 of what the Bible reported. It additionally reported that when she ate the forbidden fruit, she then provided it to Adam, who additionally ate the fruit. " for this reason the girl observed that the tree grew to become into sturdy for foodstuff and that it grew to become into some thing to be longed for to the eyes, specific, the tree grew to become into perfect to look upon.So she began taking of its fruit and eating it. later on she gave some additionally to her husband* while along with her and he began eating it." ~ GENESIS 3:6 "it is the reason, in basic terms as by way of one guy sin entered into the worldwide and dying by way of sin, and for this reason dying unfold to all adult males for the reason that they had all sinned ~ ROMANS 5: 12 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Do you notice what the two a sort of scriptures say? GENESIS 3:6 exhibits how Eve gave Adam the fruit, and by way of misuse of unfastened WILL, he too ate the fruit. it is the reason ROMANS 5:12 says that "by way of one guy, sin entered the worldwide and dying by way of sin". it is because of incontrovertible fact that ADAM, our first human father ate the fruit, he too grew to become into banished and positioned to dying together with his spouse. ". . . For dirt you're and to dirt you will return.” ~ GENESIS 3:19 "With that Jehovah God positioned him out of the backyard of E?den to domesticate the floor from which he were taken. 24 And so he drove the guy out and published on the east of the backyard of E?den the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that grew to become into turning itself continually to guard a thank you to the tree of existence." ~ GENESIS 3: 23 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Now do you notice? the two Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, and that they the two have been expelled from the backyard of Eden, and positioned to dying later on. Had it in basic terms have been Eve who ate the fruit, she could have won the penalty, not Adam.

Although it is difficult to determine what would happen if they ate of the fruit of the tree of life, the world would have most certainly been different.

No. That is a story, told to explain evil/bad. The story not being told would have created a void, and something else would have been made up to take it's place and describe good and evil.

Gods plan was to see how we do on our own!

You'll be walking around with your dick hanging out in the garden of Eden.

There is NO WAY you could put a human being in a garden, tell them they can do "ANYTHING BUT EAT THIS" and have them obey. That is human being's weakness. I think that's a main point of the story. . . .
