When God created everything like Day, Night, Sky, Earth, Sea, Sun, Moon, Stars, Birds, Fishes and different types of animals like wild and domestic finally God said of making a being who will resemble me and different from all others living creatures and also will have a power over all other animals in water on land or air. God said, I will call him “MAN”.
Then God took some soil from the ground and formed a man out it. He blew life into it. Began to breathe. God named him “Adam”. Then God created a beautiful and magnificent garden. Called the “Garden of Eden”. He created all kinds of trees that bore splendid fruit in the garden. He created a river which separated into four rivulets to supply water to this amazing garden. In the centre of the garden there was a tree which gives the knowledge of what is good and what is bad.
Then Adam was placed in the garden by God to cultivate it and keep himself busy. God told Adam “You can eat any fruit you please from the trees except the one that grows on the tree, which gives the wisdom of what is good and bad. That fruit is forbidden for you.”
So, when Adam was asleep God quietly removed one of his ribs and closed the flesh. God then created a woman and called her Eve.
Both Adam and Eve lived happily in the Garden of Eden. They dwelt amongst lions and tigers but never felt the fear of them. They wore no clothes but did not feel embarrassed or shy. They ate the fruits of Eden and were content. Their minds were pure. Everything went on well until evil took its toll.
One day the devil told the snake to tell Eve to disobey God. Then snake went to Eve and said to her, “Why don’t you eat the fruit of the tree which stands in the middle of the garden”. Then Eve replied “God has forbidden us not to eat that fruit because it is not good for us. Then snake laughed teasingly and said, “God has told you not to eat that fruit because after eating that you will understand what is good and bad, you will indeed be just as God himself. So, go a head eat the fruit. It is a very good for you.” In this way, snake coaxed Eve to eat the fruit.
Then Eve plucked the fruit and ate some of it. She convinced Adam also to have some of it as well. But to their horror, as soon as they eat the fruit, they immediately became conscious of their nakedness. Adam and Eve stitched together some fig leaves and wore them immediately.
God immediately realized that something was amiss wrong. When he summoned Adam and Eve, they said they were guilty if disobeying him and that they eat the forbidden fruit because of the snakes convincing.
God was angry and said to them, “you are not fit to live in the heavens.” He summoned the snake and cursed him for conspiring with the devil”. From now on you shall crawl on your belly for eternity. I will make mankind dislike snakes. They shall kill your offspring on sight and you shall bite them. Thus you will never be friends again.”
God looked at Eve and said “You have sinned and you shall suffer the pain of bringing your children into the World”. He told Adam also “You will have to work hard all your life to produce food out of the earth. Your life will be full of hardships until you return to the dust which I had created you them.”
From that day Adam and Eve were banished to the earth where they made clothes out of animal skins and hunted animals for food. They did not have the heavenly comforts of the “Garden of Eden” any more.
