God created humans to live on Earth. Out of the ground God with a handful of clay created Adam the first man to inhabit the Earth. God designed him in his own image and likeness then infused air in his nostrils to become a living soul and become a human being.

He is surrounded with living things like plants and animals that he can use to make him happy and comfortable. Birds on top of trees flowers that grow and bloom on the ground. These plants and animals can't make him totally happy and satisfied. God took one of Adam's ribs infused breath to her nostrils and became the first woman to live on Earth. After creating the first man and woman he went back to His kingdom in heaven. Long ago up in heaven a battle ensued among the angels Lucifer, Satan the Devil was dropped on Earth.

Man didn't follow as they find it hard to live by it.
