No, you are suffering because of your own sins and ignorance. You choose to sin and you choose to be ignorant. You have enough sins to be judged by, without there sins. Your questions display your allegiance to Satan and your desire to disobey God.

It’s not as much of a punishment as a RESULT. The world pre-sin was a totally different kind of place spiritually. There was barely any evil inclination. Once the sin was done, it was impossible for the world to run on the same spiritual level that it was running on before. So the world was turned into a different kind of place, a place where the evil inclination became much more powerful than before. Therefore, here we are today. Again, not a punishment, but a consequence, which we happen to suffer from today.

God said not to eat it. We all inherited original sin.

Adam became imperfect and an imperfect human can not live forever. That imperfection is all Adam could pass on to his offspring and with each succeeding generation we became more imperfect leading to disease and other problems. Adam and Eve decided they wanted self rule, well, man was not created to be able to rule himself and you see the results.

its called symbolism
“We must reflect a little: if the literal meaning of this story were attributed to a wise man, certainly all would logically deny that this arrangement, this invention, could have emanated from an intelligent being. Therefore, this story of Adam and Eve who ate from the tree, and their expulsion from Paradise, must be thought of simply as a symbol. It contains divine mysteries and universal meanings, and it is capable of marvelous explanations. Only those who are initiated into mysteries, and those who are near the Court of the All-Powerful, are aware of these secrets. Hence these verses of the Bible have numerous meanings.”
(Abdu’l-Baha, Some Answered Questions, p. 123)
