I think that because Adam and Eve were born with free will it did not matter if they were tempted it not. Because I believe that they still would have sinned, if it was not from the tree in which they ate from then they would have sinned a different way.

For the first question, I very much believe that humanity and life will have been very much different. As for the second question, that is where the Bible and Christianity gets confusing, because it is also said that God permits everything that happens

As much as the devil is to be blamed for the fall, humans too had a big part to play so we shouldn't blame devil all the time, when we are the ones giving him chance.

My thoughts exactly

God's plan for mankind was beautiful. If the devil hadn't interfered, there would be no suffering in the world.

The ultimate person we can blame for our actions are ourselves and ourselves alone.

Humanity went a different way after the fall of man. Muder is just an extension of what occur in the graden. Therefore the sin that changed humanity started in the garden of Eden.

We all can only guess as we aren't certain but maybe humanity would have truly gone a different way.

If you have ever felt that the sin of Adam and Eve is what drives you to sin every time, then clearly you are not aware of the term 'free will'. Not even the Devil, himself, can force you to sin.

If we truly have been given free will then we have no one to blame but ourselves for the murder although it didn't seem like cain understood what it meant but he has to take responsibility for his actions

Yes, I believe so. If man had not fallen for the trick of the devil we would not have know evil.
