It has been told that in the beginning, the Lord God created humankind in God's own image; on one hand male, and on the other female. I have read many varied accounts of this event, all of them flawed in many essential areas. I have gone about writing this account to set the story straight, so that future generations might not be misled into thinking incorrectly about the Creation Story. And so, here now is the real story of "Adam and Eve".
When God decided to create an animal that might have the abilities and intellect needed to worship and serve God properly, to tend the Earth and all of its creatures, thus was created the human. God made one man and named him Adam, and one woman who was called Eve. God said unto them, I give you this garden called Eden for your home. It will supply you with everything you might need to live full and fruitful lives so that you may worship me well and serve me through the care of the Earth and all things living. God warned them, however, saying that the Tree that grew in the centre of the garden was sacred, and Adam and Eve must never eat the fruit that grew from the Tree. When Adam questioned why this must be, God answered, saying that the fruit of the tree would bring wisdom to them both, but that with this wisdom would come a heavy burden to bear--that of free will and therefor great suffering. Not wanting to fall victim to this suffering of which God spoke, Adam and Eve agreed to never eat of the fruit of the Tree.
And so Adam and Eve went about their simple lives, (completely) innocent and naive in nature, thinking not much of things other than food and sleep and play. Both felt a great emptiness within, however, that gnawed away at them day by day. Neither could put a name to this feeling, but simply knew that it haunted them whilst they slept and nagged at their conscience when they woke. But, so naive were they that they ignored the feeling as best they could and went about their lives as God had ordained.
God knew that this empty feeling existed within the humans. The Lord God, being omniscient, knew of what was to come of it, but was content to let the humans (make) this impending choice on their own, as was essential to their development.
God was also quite aware that Adam and Eve were not the only humans walking the Earth, for God had created another man and woman some time before the birth of Adam and Eve, but these two humans were living on opposite sides of the Garden from one another. When God had created these first humans, naming them Steve and Sara, a (miscalculation in the Plans) had made both of them sterile, therefor unable to bear any children. And so God had tried again, making Adam and Eve, who were both quite fertile and would perpetuate the race well.
One day, after many years had passed and Adam and Eve had brought two childern into the world--Caine and Able--Adam had gone out collecting fruit on the other side of the garden and he came upon the dwelling of Steve, the cast out human male. Amazed that there were others beside himself and Eve in the world, Adam introduced himself to Steve and the two spoke with one another for hours. On the opposite side of the garden, Eve had been picking vegetables when she stumbled upon the dwelling of Sara, and likewise had made a friend. Steve and Sara told the two their tale.
