Hmm... a point to ponder. In the bible, it says that Eve was to suffer from child birth because they ate the apple... if they haven't eaten the apple, there will be no labour pain, but will Eve still give birth at all?
Two scenarios I can think of:
One - if Eve does give birth in the Garden of Eden, we would all be there at this moment! Unless somewhere along the way another descendant of Adam and Eve ate the apple.
Two - We wouldn't even exist as the only two people in the world would be Adam and Eve.

We would be in paradise. The story is a parable. The knowledge gained from the apple was knowledge of self. That is, Adam and Eve became self aware - they developed egos. That is why they suddenly felt the need to put on clothes. They became aware they were naked and were embarrassed. When they became self aware, they lost paradise. But they didn't really lose it, they just lost the ability to see that they were in it. So, the real answer to the question is that if Adam and Eve did not eat the apple, if we were not all so wrapped up with ourselves and our egos, we would all see we are really in paradise.

We would have never been born. The earth would be perfect and there would have never been war and people would live forever in a beautiful paradise and never known suffering or sorrow. Once the earth is full there would be no need to have more children. God would have taken care of all our needs.
But Eve wanted to decide for her self what was good and bad.
So as our mother we are paying the price for her bad judgement.
But in a way we should be glad we might never have been born or maybe born on another planet.

Read the events that lead to adam and eve induging... Decide for yourselves whose fault was it!
If Adam and eve did not exist... there would not have been any human beings! The first of the species of human beings the revered Adam and Eve were the first to surface on Mother Earth as human beings. Their direct ancestors being the ape family!
Now Adam and Eve came onto this Earth. They had both to act as a family. Both were son and daughter of God. That made them brother and sister. How come they could have fathered children?
In the initial stages of development of human life... nothing existed which we could have called as society or community. It was a raw savage world. As per the theory of Charles Darwin, "it was the time for survival of the fittest". It was the time to do and die.
Words like ethics and morality did not exist for even words did not exist during those times. The Lipi (written form of communication) was developed at a much later stage in time.
Even a brother and sister relationship did not exist at that time. There were only two human beings who had surfaced on Mother Earth. They had to copulate and produce children. They did not do it intentionally. They never knew anything about it.
It was that it happened. They did it and something was born. At that moment of time they would have been extremely surprised not knowing what to do about it. Eventually they would have realized it was one of them.
They reared that child and with passage of time another child was born. This time it was a female child. As this small family progressed further... this male and female child copulated at the appropriate time. And the whole family started to grow.
Now there were two families. With passage of time many more families came into existence. Until this point of time there was nothing like morality and ethics that played any role. For the sake of their survival and progeny these families kept on multiplying.
This was the only way to keep intruders at bay. They had to protect themselves from the wild beings roaming Mother Earth.
Ever since the Revelations of God came into existence... the human being who had invoked these words of God realized that the system had to be ordered at some stage. And some system of morality and ethics came into being.
As of today... the copulation by the children of Adam and Eve was a sin but at that time it was not a sin for the relationship of brother and sister never existed in those times.
The development of relationships in human life came at a very later the stage. It was only possible when the community would have developed into a massive strength. Population somewhere in thousands would have prompted the wise and the elders of those times to separate out into distinct families.
We need to understand that whatever is truth today may not hold tomorrow. In a scientific developing world the values whether they are ethical, moral or otherwise keep changing.
We also need to understand that during the times of Mahabharata... the battle was fought using swords, horses and elephants. But now the warfare consists of atomic bombs, missiles and chemical warfare. More on adam and eve here- http://www.godrealized.com/dharma_definition.html

Completely different. We'd have no science, no technology, no cities, and no internet (among other things). We'd be a lot of overgrown children, gambolling through our paradise with no need to explore or learn, much less grow up.

First of all, the Bible makes no mention of an apple, just fruit. If they would have taken their God given dominion over Satan at that point we would be in Paradise.

Life would be different.
We would not have clothes. We would be butt naked and live just like Adam & Eve did in Eden.
There would be no business or pollution or anything like today.
