Unfortunately i believe not in the garden of eden story, we humans want to believe too much in the concept of not asking yourselves questions when it comes to religion.
An example here is seen when Ester tells us the first sexual contact in human life was beastiality! And the serpent walking upright! But one thing is for sure it lays credence to my assertion that God did not create Satan, rather Satan is equal to him, since we see he also exists before man as God did.
Secondly the assumption that humans are so different from their sorrounding such that they had originally been meant not to reproduce, even though they had sexual organs that worked as we continue to see.
Nature has it that some life form produce asexually so if from the beginning God did not intend man to reproduce sexually and taking into account he also created the asexual reproducing life form, then man would have produced asexually had that been his intention.
If man was supposed to live in harmony happily ever after, why have a forbidden fruit in the first place, how much did the earth then depend on this tree such that it had to exist, and taking into account the expanse of the earth, did it have to exist only at the garden of eden, heck if God had put it in New Zealand, there would be no sex and deaths
Am always so amused when i see people trying to explain away a fantasy or story, i might as well argue about JK Rowlings "Harry potter"
