God and the lord breathed into him the breath of life. He almost lived all his
life in the garden provided by God called the Garden of Eden to work it and watch
over it. Adam was at will to eat any tree of the garden except for the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil. He named all the animals, .his wife Eve who was
made out of his ribs helped and assisted him. Adam and Eve were tempted by the
serpent, the most cunning of the entire willed animal, though God had
instructed Adam against the forbidden fruit which he passed on to his wife Eve,
yet they disobeyed by eating the fruit . They are responsible for the fractured
nature of this present world, through them sin entered the world. God had no choice
but to expel them from the garden. Adam had Cain, Able, Seth and other numerous
children as offspring. Adam lived to be 930 years of age. He was the first son
of the human creation; he had no earthly parent, friends and siblings. He
worked as a zoologist, a horticulturalist, hunter and a farmer.
