Aw, you care, you really care...
But, naw, I've spouted enough around here...most are sacred to me and it's hard to read irreverant pot shots taken.
Suffice it to say..there is a pervasive loving Being everywhere...trust Him, exp Him at all costs...and thus,
you will understand and love Him more than anything...there.
No. Sometimes it would be nice to address the OP of a thread...it tends to keep things from getting so personal.
We all know the biblical story of how mankind fell because the eating of the fruit from the tree of knowledge.
So, lets wonder what would have happened if Eve and Adam didn't try that fruit.
Who can answer:
What was God's original plan for man?
Was there a heaven before original sin?
How big was the Garden of Eden?
It's not really answerable. All we can know is what did happen.
We do know that God put them there to take care of the garden, and to worship him. We know that they did not catch him by surprise. Although they had free will, he knew what would happen, and he knew that he'd one day redeem them by dying on a cross.

Where does it say Adam and Eve (if they existed) were to worship god? Chapter and verse please.
Why would you expect a "cogent response" to nonsense based on a fairy tale?
Even those of us who do not take it to be a literal story can find discussion material in what a story represents.

Yeah, and kind of unoriginal. It's as if somebody thinks they are going to get a prize for being the 500th person to roll up and shout, "yulk yulk yulk, it's just a fairy tale!".
He had fellowship with them. God would come and spend time with them. Just read it.
And he stitched them up. And all mankind afterwards. With fellowship like that, we can do without it.
