Why would anyone want to change such an environment? Wasn't it the ultimate in what everyone seeks in life? The scenario was tranquility, security, surrounded by indescribable beauty and even peaceful relations with all other creatures. Apparently, the package even included pain-free childbirth, judging from Genesis 3:16 "...In pain you shall bring forth children..." This was spoken to Eve after she chose the wrong diet plan and indicated a change from the way God orginally planned it. It is not wise to try to improve God's plan.
As part of their integral makeup, the caretakers of the paradise known as "The Garden of Eden" were given freewill. Adam and Eve could choose to continue their intimate relationship with their Father and enjoy the splendor He had provided for them, or they could choose to listen to the nearly believable lies of God's enemy, Satan. Unfortunately, they made the wrong dietary choice. God had warned them what would happen if they didn't follow His diet plan; they would die. (Genesis 3:3). Satan told them God had lied to them, and they would not die. He led them to believe that God was holding out on them and he prescribed a different diet plan which, if followed, would make them as God Himself. Incredibly, they believed the lie.
God could have just buried them and let them face the penalty of disobedience, living in a state of death with their deceiver forever, and started over with new creations; but He loved them too much to do that. He already had a plan to rescue them from their own failure and He set it in motion. Though they were expelled from their beautiful paradise, God made provisions that would bring full restoration. Their enemy would be destroyed; they would be redeemed and Eden Eternal awaited them. Though they died from the sin, they were resurrected to new life. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die...: (John 11:25 NKJV).
