Short Story Of Genesis

He places them in a place called The Garden of Eden along with all the other Creatures that he has created, however he places them with dominion over the other creatures. In this Garden there was a tree called the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. God instructed Adam and Eve to not eat from this tree alone but they could eat from anything else.
