Features: When God first created heaven and earth, the earth was not yet formed, and the universe was in chaos. God was contemplating the chaos. God said, "Let there be light!" And light appeared. God was pleased and separated light from darkness, giving them each names. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." God made light and darkness alternate, causing day and night to cycle endlessly. This was the first day of God's creation. On the night Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God came to the Garden of Eden and found neither Adam nor Eve. He called them out. God questioned Adam, "Why are you hiding?" Adam timidly replied, "We were afraid you would see us naked, so we hid." "Naked! Who told you that?" God was astonished. "Did you eat the forbidden fruit?" Adam lowered his head and confessed that Eve had been tempted by the serpent to eat the fruit and give some to him. Upon hearing this, God was furious and cursed Eve, saying, "I will increase your pain in childbirth and make you forever dependent on men, who will rule over you." He then cursed Adam, saying, "You must eat wild plants, and you will toil all your life until your death!"
