Conclusion Creation is Good: Seven times in Genesis 1 we read “...and it was good‚” leaving us no doubt about the state of God’s creative work.

In the Book of Genesis‚ Adam and Eve‚ who at first live peacefully and without sin in the Garden of Eden‚ break God’s only law by eating an apple from the forbidden tree.
