It is thought that the narration at the beginning of Genesis is just an allegory, not to be taken literally.  But it is a true account, it is just not talking about what most people think it is talking about.   The first chapters of Genesis are not speaking of the creation of the Earth and a single man and a single woman.  Genesis 1:2 makes it clear that they are not talking about planet Earth.  In these pages we will present to you what it is all about. If you have not yet read ADAM or EVE, read them now.

9: And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 

16: And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 
17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die
