God creating the first human, whom he places in a garden "in the east, in Eden". God tasks the man, Adam, to tend the garden, but forbids him to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

God then forms a woman, Eve, from a rib of the man to be a companion to the man. Adam and Eve were created together in God's image and jointly given instructions to multiply and to be stewards over everything else that God had made. However, Adam and Eve break God's command and eat the fruit of the forbidden tree, and God expels them from the garden to prevent them from eating of a second tree, the tree of life, and living forever.

While they were still in the "Garden of Eden", who do you think made the very first sexual move?
