Creation of Adam
Adam and Eve were both created by God on the sixth day of creation. Adam was formed from the dust of the ground. God then created Eve by placing Adam into a deep sleep and removing his rib with which Eve was formed. Adam and Eve then become the progenitors of all humanity."And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." - Genesis 2:7 (KJV)
Garden of Eden

Eden is the name of the area where God created the Garden of Eden. God placed Adam in this garden, and he and Eve were to live there and care for it. The Garden of Eden (Hebrew: גן עדן, Gan ‘Eden) is described in Genesis 2-3 .
Original Sin
- Main Article: Fall of Man
According to the Bible, death came into the world as a result of the sin of Adam and Eve. The account in Genesis 2-3 states that God placed a Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden, and gave Adam and Eve specific instructions not to eat from it. Despite this command and warning from God, Eve was tempted by a serpent and she ate of the fruit anyway, then gave some to Adam. This act of disobedience was the first time that humans had sinned against God, and is therefore, called the original sin.
Genealogical Record

Adam lived to be 930 years11,502.495 mon
339,675.432 da old and fathered sons and daughters by Eve, three of whom are recorded by name: sons Cain, Abel, and Seth. To be more specific, he was 130 years old when Seth was born. Traditionally, the first-born son is used to establish parenthood for genealogical purposes. But in Adam's case, Seth is used because his first-born, Cain, killed Abel and was cursed by God, and for that reason Seth, not Cain, was the son who carried on the line.
