If Adam and Eve had obeyed, they would still be here and we would not have war and crime and sickness and death
how do you know that?
They were told the consequence of their sin would be death. They ate. They died. If you believe God to be perfect as the Bible writers apparently believed, then they would not yet have died. The rest is concurrent.
Sunshine is this a nope in the way of saying that you have never experienced magical thinking? or should I say that you were similar to me and never in your life believed it?
If this is the case then I can somewhat see where you are coming from but if we were to look around us, "at least from my view point I have many love ones who believe in things I think are ridiculous but I still love them and see that it is the way their brains process the information that they take in "at least this is my guess.
Creative thinking is a very good thing when it is not harming others.

How do you know that? were you there?
Seriously. How can you make statements like that without being a witness?
I see you did not watch the little girl sing that short song?
Did your mom make you sing that song when she tried to raise you as a Witness?
I didn't think so.
Is this how you get back at your mom? How old are you, really?
I think you forgot to let ehBeth know that you were replying to her.

The only account I am familiar with is the one written in Genesis. Were it totally false, this conversation would be as jejune as RL's recent posts. In that account, should we care to look, we can find this statement attributed to the creator: "From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die. . . (Genesis 2:16,17)
We know they died because the only really old folks I know are Frank and CI; they say they are not old enough to have witnessed either.
