The Book of Genesis begins by telling how the spirit of God, that is, the eternal and perfect wisdom of the Lord, created the heavens and the earth. But God did not create everything instantly, the Bible says that creation took God 6 days, and a seventh in which the creator of all things rested: "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work" Genesis 2:2.
This story, beyond what the word "day" metaphorically means in the Book of Genesis, shows that God's wisdom is benevolent, progressive, edifying, and gradual.
And the creation of God tells the Book of Genesis, included also the creation of man on the sixth day with a particularity, man was created in the image and likeness of God; and this creation of God was not coincidental but had a special purpose, to continue the work of God by taking care of the garden of Eden, in other words, what the Bible is explaining to us is that God created man to increase the order and the perfection of the universe, that is why the Book of Genesis with wisdom expresses:
"The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the LORD God commanded the man, ´You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die´" Genesis 2:15-17.
The first man the Bible tells us was called Adam, and his wife who was created by God from Adam's rib was called Eve. They were created in a state of innocence according to the Bible and lived in the Garden of Eden. But the story continues to explain the origin of the problem of evil, Eve, tempted by the serpent, ate the fruit that God had commanded not to be eaten, and just as Eve ate, Adam also ate. Finally, for this sin, Adam and Eve were expelled from paradise and lost immortality. And because of this original sin, the Bible tells us, a humanity dominated by falsehood and inclined to commit error arose.
With this story Adam and Eve became an example of what should not be done, breaking with God's command to obtain selfish benefit.
