Reading Notes: Adam and Eve; The Beasts of the Creation

This story starts out with both Adam and Eve crying because God speaks to them as their protector. They feel God is acting as parental figures in their lives. Adam was given the responsibility to name every creature that God created and now Adam's fear is that even though he had the responsibility of naming them, they will plot against him to destroy him and Eve.

At first, God said he planned on having the beasts destroy Adam and Eve because they had gone against the Lord and therefore couldn't see any creations. But then he decided the beasts should become familiar with Adam and Eve and to not give them any trouble. After, the beasts learned to respect Adam and Eve. God decided to let Adam and Eve come in contact with the creatures and they began to worship God for everything he had done for them.

When Adam and Eve walked out of the cave they had been in, they were greeted with a garden rooted next to the Tree of Life which had flowing rivers going off of it. They had taken the water and the beauty for granted and decided to never overlook the beauty of creation again.
