Line 1: Line 1: −
According to the Biblical Book of [[Genesis]], [[God]] created the Garden of Eden as a dwelling place for the first two humans, [[Adam]] and [[Eve]].  Eden was a paradise of plenty where Adam and Eve would never suffer illness or death.  Unfortunately, Adam and Eve defied the will of God by eating the [[forbidden fruit]] at the center of the garden, and God cast them out of Eden so that they would no longer live forever.  According to Genesis, a [[cherub]] with a flaming sword guards the Garden of Eden to prevent humans from returning.

All humans on Earth are decedents of Adam and Eve. Their children Cain and Seth create two separate linages of human life on Earth. Cain and Seth must have had sexual intercourse with their mother Eve, or an unnamed sister to propagate humanity. This was not necessarily considered immoral because there was no other way to create children.
