Of course, I’m referring here to Adam and Even before they ate the fruit. The point here is to remember that the way things are now is not the way they always were, nor the way they always will be. After all, through the cross and resurrection of Jesus, God is bringing his people back to Eden.
The angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. (Revelation 22:1-3)
Are there any other things you would add to the list?

Spiders, but that’s wishful thinking.

wait…I don’t know why WE need spiders this side of Eden. To kill the mosquitoes I guess.

A Bible, Church, a high priest, or sacrifices. Their relationship with God was perfect, daily and complete. A Bible was not needed because God had a direct line of communication (could we call it prayer?) with Adam and Eve.
PDA’s and planners, cars, rush hour, traffic lights and traffic laws. Adam and Eve probably experienced an inner peace that a lot of us wish we had because we are consumed with business, which kills love and compassion for each other, among other things.

Here is one for you:
Haircuts.
I think hair growth is a result of the fall. Since there was no death in the garden then Adam and Eve’s cells did not die which would mean they had no need for a barber. What do you think?
