Since Eve is nothing more than a fictional character in a story, it's a little silly to ask 'what ifs' about it.
It's a thought experiment. One doesn't have to believe in the premise to examine what it implies. I'm attempting to deconstruct the story and consider what would have happened if Eve had not tasted of the knowledge of good and evil. I don't have to think the story of Little Red Riding Hood is true to consider what might have happened had the wolf been trapped before he got to grandma's house.
We don't always have to be so literal when asking, "what if".
