Adam was the first man on earth, and for a short time he lived alone. He arrived on the planet with no childhood, no parents, no family, and no friends. Perhaps it was Adam's loneliness that moved God to quickly present him with a companion, Eve. The creation of Adam and Eve is found in two separate biblical accounts. The first, Genesis 1:26–31, shows the couple in their relationship to God and to the rest of creation. The second account, Genesis 2:4–3:24, reveals the origin of sin and God's plan for redeeming the human race.
