If Eve did not eat of the apple might life have evolved differently?

Would Adam have listened to God? Would one brother not have killed the other? According to the holy books the garden with the snake and the apple is where it all started and they were banished to earth. Do you agree? Do you believe in an actual snake or just evil? What is your view?

It's not a joke. Evolving means "to develope or achieve gradually" anything can evolve. Evolution is not just about apes evolving into humans and things like that. She is using "evolve" by its definition. (I think?)
My question would be, if the apple was never eaten, would there even be brothers? Adam and Eve didn't reproduce until they were kicked out of Eden.

The relevancy of theories against what is in the Bible is inappropriate in the sense, what you read is what you get. To question the book, is to question your faith and God. Christians only evolve during historical periods, your most common version of the Bible is the King James Version, which was written for Protestant Christians.
Your conclusion about evil and the snake is only based on symbolism by the given writer of each section of the bible. The snake is no more evil than you let it, most of the animals and related symbols are simply just that, because snakes are "mean and can kill." In reality, if you think about it a snake only attacks when it believes prey is around or it is under threat.

What's wrong with questioning? Isn't it better to believe something because you've asked questions and got answers than it is to believe something just because you are told to?
