He looked for a place to put a universe. There was nothing larger than God. [1] There was no place outside of him to create. He could only put the new things inside of himself. [2] [3] [4] He opened a pocket within himself and spoke into it. [5] [p 1] He made the light [6] and the Sun, moon and stars [7] from it [n 1], to teach us of his holiness [s 1] [n 2] [8] and that we would someday be examples of his holiness in the dark world. [9] He separated the waters [10] [n 3] and brought the fish and flying things from it [11] as symbols of those who live in the word [s 2] and the spirit. [s 3] He made the dry ground [12] [s 4] and from it made [13] the grass [s 5] , herbs [s 6] , trees [s 7] , and animals, [14] and they all became symbols for other things. |

Finally he made his friend from the ground as well. [1] "Hi Adam [n 1] , I am God [n 2] . Let me teach you [n 3] that I am both Holy [2] and Love. [3] I will give you a tree as a symbol of holiness. [4] It is separate but no different from other trees only in that I have set it apart. I have given you all the other trees to eat. [5] They represent all the things I want to teach you. This tree would teach you something I don't want you to learn. It will teach you to disobey me; to make your own rules; it will teach you the lie that you are a God, and when you eat from it you will be separated from me." [6] |

God then made a friend and wife for Adam from Adam. He called he Eve. [1] One day Eve was near the forbidden tree and she saw some animals eating the fruit of the tree. They didn't die! She thought to herself, "Maybe the fruit isn't bad for animals. But I am not an animal, I am from Adam's rib!" [n 1] Then the serpent came by. He approached a large fruit. Eve thought to herself, "Surely he can't eat that!" But the serpent unhinged his jaw and swallowed it whole. "Oh, he will choke on it!" But she watched in amazement as the fruit kept it's shape and traveled down the serpent's body. "Eve..." said the snake, "You won't die from eating the fruit. [2] Look at me! God created me in a wonderful way. [3] If fruit looks good and smells good, I just eat it. I just do what God made me to do. Are you sure you heard God right? Oh you didn't hear it from God? Adam told you? Maybe he didn't get it right. You breathe like me and eat like me... go ahead." [4] When Eve took a bite, immediately she learned to disobey God [5] . She made her own rules. She thought she was like God making rules, just by disobeying. She gave Adam some. |

Now Adam knew what God said [1] , but he watched Eve eat. He thought to himself, "It can't be as bad as God said. Eve didn't die, and she thinks it's good. God gave her to me to help me [2] , and it's what she made for dinner." [3] So he ate it. Immediately he learned to disobey God. He learned to make his own rules as if he were a god. [4] [5] Furthermore, he didn't believe that God loved him and was now afraid of God. [6] So he hid in the tree. [7] [n 1] [v 1] He learned those things that God didn't want him to know. The tree was called the "Tree of the knowledge of good and evil". It taught Adam how to be evil. There was nothing magic about the tree. All he had to do was disobey God. |
