 In the beginning there was nothing and the earth was filled with darkness. One day, God decided that he would make the earth full and have life. After 7 days of creating the earth, God decided to create a man. He gathered the dust and wind and created a man from his own creation. The Lord had created a beautiful garden full of any food the man could ever dream of. The man lived in paradise and one day God decided to make him a companion. On this day, God took a rib from the man and created a woman. Her name was Eve. The two would do everything together and had the entire Garden of Eden to themselves. In these simple times, God only had one rule for the both of them. The rule was to never eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This seemed like a simple task; however, it is human nature to want things you are told not to have. One day, satan took form as a slithery snake and tricked the woman into eating the forbidden fruit. After the woman ate the fruit, she convinced...

Reading part B of Adam and Eve is very interesting. It explains not only why but also how they were forced out of the garden and also where they were allowed to go. I found the reasoning to be quite interesting.

Imagine having to start off with nothing and no clue how to survive. It is amazing to me that this creation is so intricate and beautiful. I thought it was very nice that God allowed Adam and Eve to live and explore this world but promised them that no beast of the earth would try to eat them. He forced them to start a new life but still cared enough to protect him from the other dangerous animals that were no longer friendly after they sinned. What I have made note of from all of this is to add detail and creativity. The thing I like most about all of this is how it started because satan came to them in the gar...

 Creation of man and woman is a fascinating story. If I were to have chosen the creation story topic for my storybook, this would be a great resource. However, I can still use this particular story to provide me with attention to detail, creativity, and providing the reader with a source behind the creation. I love how God created man out of dust. First He created the ocean and earth and then created man from his original creation. I also like how this was not all done at once, but it was a project in itself. It makes me think that it is God's storybook and each day was a new story with a new creation. This particular passage was more of an informational and creative passage. This provided me with many ideas and how to apply history and creativity to my storybook.  (Creation of Eve:  Wiki Commons )
