For some of this I can only speculate. If sin had never entered the world, then we would be living in the Garden of Eden today. There would be no thorns to contend with (good thing since we would be naked). If sin had entered the world down the line somewhere (I'm speculating), then there would either be two races of people--one sinless, the other corrupt--or the sinners would have immediately died out before they could pass on the sin to their children.
It is likely that we would not have the technology that we have today. There would be no need for it. In fact, there are many things in the world now that we think of as necessary, which would probably never been needed if we were still living in the garden of Eden.

We wouldn't have been sentient to ponder this question. And if one is not sentient, that is able to discern good from evil, right from wrong, then how could it have been a sin to eat when they did not know what sin was. Was like your dog peeing on the carpet, you can train your dog to not pee on the carpet, you can condition the dog so that the dog will use the out of doors, but your dog does not know that peeing on the carpet is a sin and will lead straight to doggy hell. So--if Adam and Eve weren't sentient until after they ate, how could eating have been a sin. If the elephant would have picked that fruit and became sentient--would god have treated the elephant in a like sense.

There is no way of knowing for certain, but I would guess that if Adam and Eve had resisted the devil; eventually he would have been sent away.
I think life would exist without selfishness, and we would be able to devote our time to things such as science, art, and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
I think we would probably be able to travel through out the galaxy, and if we weren't already travel to the other universe, we would be working toward that.
But even if I'm completely wrong about that, I know for certain that no one would know what pain, and especially what loss even was.

It has to do with what defines "awareness" in this actual word. God creatred Adam and Eve with basic or common awareness and due to it, they could sense that the fruit is relaxing to the eyes and look stable for them. The minconception approximately this passage is that many human beings do no longer understand the two words for "awareness of sturdy and evel" and awareness of no remember if there there is something to eat or no longer. the shown fact that Adam and Eve understand that God forbits to eat the fruit is a knowlede already and consequently, they are in charge for his or her action against the command of God. besides, the understanding of sturdy and evil and the knowlede of God's likes and dislike are different as they have already got the understanding to appreciate that God command them to no longer eat. it type of feels to be a remember of scrutinizing the linguistic utilization and the entire tale relating to the autumn of guy in Genesis 3. there is not any concern in expertise the passage if we additionally examine different aspects of the financial disaster. thank you.

It states right in the scriptures that Adam fell that man would have Joy. Could you imagine being created and being with God and everything perfect, Adam didn't know joy because he didn't know sorrow. It was all part of Gods plan. The earth is not 6000 years old that is the recorded time from Adams fall the time that Adam was in the garden of Edon could have millions of years we don't know.

They couldn't not have eaten the apple. You're with a mentality that uses entrapment to blame people for things. If they weren't meant to eat the apple, why was the tree there? Even if they had utterly refused to go near it, God would have found some other method to catch 'em.

It would be perfect the way God had created it. Heaven would still be God's throne room.
