Christians, before the Fall were Adam and Eve indestructible as well as immortal?

In other words, if Adam and Eve never ate the forbidden fruit then up until now and for all eternity, no human being could ever accidentally kill themselves or at least accidentally injure themselves despite the fact that we have physical bodies in a physical world?

For all of eternity, here on planet earth, no one could ever accidentally fall off a cliff or get hit on the head by a falling branch or even at least slip and break a leg or anything?

When I asked another question, " if Adam and Eve never committed Original Sin then do you realise that there would be no technology?" some agreed but others cited Bible quotes that tended to imply that we naked immortals would still have an inclination to write books, create art and invent things like cars, planes and large buildings.

Yet everyone in this version of paradise still manages to avoid fatal accidents as well?

Or originally, besides being immortal, did Adam and Eve have indestructible bodies as well?

Were they impervious to pain and injury and the same would be true for us? Are these solid yet spirit bodies? How is that possible?
In Heaven after we die, just our souls go there, right? Our decaying bodies or ashes remain here. Therefore, our souls can live forever in Heaven because we are completely spirit. There is no physical body to experience injury, sickness, pain or death. Doesn't that make more sense?

Look, I believe in God but even if I never heard of evolution, I still wouldn't believe in Adam and Eve.

It makes no sense. Sure, the universe and God are capable of amazing things and virtually anything is possible but shouldn't it make sense, though?

How could there have only been two people at one time or just two of any other animal at one time?

Why do you prefer believing in a magic God that created the universe in one week supernaturally, rather than a more rational version of God that planted the seed to our universe then watches it grow naturally over time?
 
Concerning Adam and Eve and being indestructable, the Bible doesn't say.

As for your final questions: Actually there are more Christians who believe as you do, and do not accept a young earth and literal 6 day creation week.
 
I'm just gonna clarify some things.
If you read what you're talking about, you might remember that they both DID NOT YET EAT THE TREE OF LIFE.
So that really eliminates this whole topic.

Your possible follow up question would be, "wouldn't it cease to be paradise if people could die".

Remember, God takes walks quite often in the garden, kinda like a check up. The difference between our doctors and this one? Well our doctors can only treat certain things, this one can create life, how much more can he restore it.

(however you can spend years trying to argue about the concept of physical and spiritual death, when and where it was referring to) perhaps even in addition to that- if spiritual death is linked to physical death.
 
Adam and Eve never existed. The story of creation in the OT is like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter: Pure Fantasy.
 
Adam and Eve were humans, made of the dust of the earth. They were not immortal, or else they would not have lost access to the tree of life. No human was ever immortal, we were not created that way, angels were. Adam and Eve enjoyed very long life. They did not have indestructible bodies, for the same reason. We do not waft up to heaven after we die. If we were already immortal, then what is the whole point of inheritance into God's Kingdom? What is the point of striving for the gift of eternal life if one already has it? As you said, it ought to make sense, not full of unknowable mystery.Read the book of Revelation to better understand how and when we attain our spiritual bodies.
