When God created our world, He did so with intricate care and precision. At the end of each day He looked at His work and pronounced it to be good. Day by day He built upon His labors of the previous day, and was pleased with what He had done. Finally, when He had finished His work of creating and embellishing the world as a beautiful home for mankind, He created Adam and Eve and placed them in the garden which He had prepared for them.

When Adam and Eve were created by the hand of God and placed in the Garden of Eden, they were given explicit instruction concerning their freedom to eat of any tree in the garden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This instruction was given to prevent them from coming under the influence of Satan.
