Interesting Question...would call for speculation as it seems man had to be tricked in to his first sin...not sure we have sinful natures we apparently inherited from original sin but there is little doubt that God's plan was for the fall of man and through this fall we are perfected...Understand there was a small truth in the devils deceit we did become more like God knowing good from evil so through this sin came grace..therefore man was bettered in a way it was one day closer to the perfection God has in mind. God's plan for us definitely through this disobedience came knowledge of good and evil and through this example of law we began to realize who God is and our need for him it was God who sustains us...man moved up a notch though sin and death did enter the world...later we have the law and than God's covenant with Abraham and each were moving us toward our final destination so each step of man in this respect is an advancement...eventually we could not live up to the law and God came to us in the form of man to overcome temptation and to pay the penalty of sin...death for us...this is the current status of man..the grace of God provided by the atonement and thorough faith we have his promise today...Each of these changes of man's status to God should be studied as thay all have deeper meanings than a man in y/a is going to make clear in a single answer...but through sin came grace and through the law came Christ so God has had a plan of salvation for his creation from beore the creation of the world and it is all a part of his plan.. With chirist coming to the world a major part of this plan has come to us as now thorugh the atonement and the resurrection man by faith can become new creatures...It is yet in faith that we have this as all things are a still in this progression and we are not as individuals dead and we claim this new life by faith but to be truly saved one must have pased from this world into the next as he who endures to the end is truly saved. The next advancement of mankind will be the second coming of Christ and his kingdom on the earth. top sum it all up through our bad God brought forth good things and eventualy our salvation eternal life with him.

The Adam and Eve story is a Myth in the Bible to tell us what can happen when we freely choose to disobey God.
Long before the Jewish religion got started, there were many gods worshiped. One was a goddess whose symbol was the snake. It represented life.
The snake is also on modern medical staffs.
Making the snake represent evil, the goddess was put down as well as the influence women had with their wisdom and knowledge of life medical issues.
Eden never existed. The first sin probably happened between cave people after their conscience was developed well enough to know right from wrong.

Well if Adam and eve did exist at some point in time and eve chose to never touch the apple then I guess we would have a much more open minded society that doesn't see it as taboo to just be naked in public...the only way we wouldnt exist in this case is if Adam and we were killed. This is just my opinion though,nobody really knows for sure where man originates.

The answers are "No" and "No."
Since there never was an Eden or an Adam & Eve or Snake... the answers are both "No," but we could make a better world, an Eden, if we'd like to. I think we should. What do you think? Should we drop the silly idea that there once was an Eden and begin building what there never has been? Should we create the first Eden for all mankind to enjoy?

Ehh...that I'm not entirely certain of. In my opinion, I think it would've happened eventually whether the snake existed or not. Some other trickster figure would have come along, or Adam and Eve would've decided for themselves to eat the fruit. It's pretty clear to me that it was partly Adam and Eve's own rebelliousness that caused them to do it in the first place, not just the serpent's coaxing.
Oh, and contrary to popular belief, the serpent is not Satan. It is a mere trickster figure set out to make some mischief.

No. The "snake" only lied to Eve. Adam actually disobeyed God. But, if there had never been sin-yes we would probably still be in Eden.

Apple, when the hell did she eat an apple. Crap I always thought the serpent led her to eat the fruit from the knowledge of good and evil. I guess if she had just eaten apples things would be ok, but she didn't she ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Snake, *** the snake, what if the tree never existed. Nice guy that god. Put something there just to say you can't have it. Would the world be better? No, it would be the same because the story is just an explination of how come we are are such as$holes as a human race. That's all.

Satan entered the snake. If Eve never ate the fruit then yes we would all be living in Eden. We would be happy, and no problems and no death. It would be perfect.

As I understand it, had Eve and, later, Adam not eaten of the fruit, we'd all be fat and happy in our ignorance, hanging out in Eden.
Although I'm not sure they'd have figured out procreation without the apple. So, the "we" part is up for debate.

Well, the snake actually never existed. Eve never ate that apple, because this is all a fairy tale.
I hope you don't think that a bite on the apple changed the course of history.

SATAN
Rev.12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
