5. The Genesis Creation story casts out Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden after Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge.

One of the most well-known creation stories belongs to both Judaic and Christian faiths. The creation story as told in the book of Genesis details a seven-day process. On the first day, God created light and the universe. On the second day, the sky and waters were made. On the third day, God created land and vegetation. On the fourth day, the sun, moon, and stars were made to fill the skies. On the fifth day, both sea and land creatures were born. On the sixth day, man was created, Adam and Eve. The seventh day, God rested.

The paradise of Eden was designated as the perfect land for Adam and Eve. All food was provided to them. There was no death, no pain, and no suffering. There was only one rule: they were not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. However, Eve was tempted by a serpent in the garden persuading her to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. When she ate the fruit from the tree, God cast them out of Eden. They would then suffer the consequence of sin, pain, and death.
