Q

explain adam and eve’s creation story

A

god created the earth and heavens
god formed man from the soil of the ground and breathed into his nostrils and he became alive
god planted the garden of eden with a tree of knowledge of good and evil in it
god put man in the garden to tend it and told him not to eat the fruit on the tree
god made animals that the man named but they weren’t suitable for man’s helper
god put man to sleep and took a rib and created a woman from it and they were naked and not ashamed
a serpent tempted the woman to eat the forbidden fruit which she tempted the man to eat too
the man and woman realised they were naked and felt ashamed and covered up
god saw this and knew they’d disobeyed him and eaten the forbidden fruit
man and woman were thrown out the garden of eden and given punishments
