What would the world be like today if Man had never fallen? Would we more or less be living in Heaven and would our souls be immortal since death was brought into the world through sin?
The Earth, as we know it now, would not even be close to fathomable…I imagine society would be similar to agrarian societies in the middle ages, but then again, since ‘hard’ farming was a result of the fall, maybe everything we would need could grow itself…
I think trying to imagine Man before the Fall could cause one to develop a longing for that, which is only attainable in Heaven, and therefore, an aid to salvation. It is also interesting because the difference between what Earth would be like prior to the Fall and where we are now is directly attributable to Satan.
