Why did things get so messed up?
Adam and Eve had the run of the Garden. God told them they could enjoy it to their hearts content, except for the fact that they weren't to eat the fruit of one tree. God warned them of dire consequences if they disobeyed. Well, they rebelled against God's one command and we are told that the world changed drastically at that point from a world without pain, to the world filled with suffering that we now know. Some wonder why God gave them such a choice to make when he knew all along how things would be ruined. Consider this: would be ruined, or could be ruined? There's a significant difference.
