In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. On the Sixth day Adam was created. Adam and Eve were given dominion over the earth, ruling over the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky. Then they sinned. The very ground was cursed because of their sin and they and were cast out of the Garden. Yet their dominion over the earth, while marred with toil, was never rescinded. They also gained the knowledge of good and evil: their fall from innocence removed their ability to use ignorance as an excuse.
