I was wondering, for those of you who believe in Adam and Eve, the tree of knowladge of good and evil, and hell, do you guys think Adam and Eve are there? Why or why not?
Are Adam and Eve in hell?

The apple was sex, sex is evil, they are burning.
No, I don't. The Atonement of Christ, and repentance, will allow everyone to be forgiven of their sins (which Adam and Eve, being human, committed; eating the fruit wasn't a sin though).

Adam and Eve is not in hell. The whole story rest on their immortality in the material world will cease to exist if they eat the "tree of knowledge of good and evil." Also, they in consequence, will be banished from the Garden and will have to live a life of hard labor and such that we all inherit from their immortal sin. Bla blah blah.
The bible never been specific if the Garden is Heaven or anything like that at all. I assume it is another place. God's laboratory maybe...

Ergotism can probably make you think the apple you're eating is magical and dangerous and that you had a conversation with a snake, and you may even imagine yourself trapped in some flaming underground dungeon at some point.

there is no hell
Well, when Mormons speak of "Hell" we generally mean spirit prison, which is where some will spend time before hearing the Gospel and receiving the necessary ordinances by proxy (ie someone gets baptized for them here on earth in our temples). Adam and Eve, however, already did that while alive, so it isn't an issue. If they go to Hell it would be as missionaries.

Well if they didn't go there as missionaries what else would they be doing?
Waiting for the missionaries to come to them.
I don't really know any more about it than that. We don't know what sort of a place this is - except I doubt it has fire and brimstone, or is particularly torturous.

They are probably vacationing in retirement somewhere in a Florida like place in Heaven.
You're not going to a Catholic Church then...
