The Son placed Adam in the most wonderful orchard in all of Adamic (creation) history because every tree in the garden was perfect in appearance and produced delicious eatable fruits and nuts (cf. Gen. 2:9a, 16). The Father had created all plants and herbs (cf. Gen. 1:29; 2:5) and they were perfect (cf. Gen. 1:31). As he tasted each kind of fruit, vegetable, and nut for the first time Adam must have praised God. Apples, peaches, pears, plums, cherries, figs, bananas, pineapple, blackberries, strawberries, olives, dates, huckleberries, tomatoes, celery, lettuce, cabbage, pecans, walnuts, hickory nuts, and coconuts were just a few of his available food stuffs. We have no reason to believe that the Son did not explain fire to Adam; so that could have beans, corn, peas, carrots, potatoes, yams, okra, and many other wonderful foods. Why would God withhold the ability to enjoy all of the wonderful treasures He had placed on the earth for Adam and for his prodigy?

“Mankind was created pure and placed under undeflied nature under the laws of creation. In that situation, true theology was also natural and God-given. It was not, despite this, complete or fully in-born because it has always been subject to increase and clarification by revelation, and that necessarily so. In that state, theology was absolutely pure. The light given to Adam was sufficient and beneficial for his recognition of God as Creator, Lawgiver, and Rewarder.” John Owen, Biblical Theology (1661)

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” II Timothy 3:16, 1 KJAV

We need to examine each verse of Scripture in context and make sure we find its spiritual life value. The Father’s plan for Adam was to have a residence in the Garden of Eden (cf. Gen. 1:8); but he was given authority to explore and subdue the entire earth (cf. Gen. 1:28). The first voice he heard was the voice of God! The entire world was made available to Adam. He was given absolute authority over the entire animal kingdom (cf. Gen. 1:30). The Son brought every animal and every bird to Adam; and he gave them names (cf. Gen. 2:19a). Just think how excited Adam must have been as he studied and gave names to the lion, the tiger, the leopard, the horse, the giraffe, the kangaroo, the cow, the pig, the elephant, and all other animals. He was the first human to see the beautiful birds. We do not know just how great the development from genus to species was; but we have no reason to believe the Father was utilizing any form of evolution. Each species brought forth after its own kind (cf. Gen. 1:21, 24). He gave names to “every living creature” and this would include all water and sea life (cf. Gen. 2: 19b). Now whales, sharks, seals, penguins, various genus and species of fish would not have been present in the Garden. Therefore, logic implies that the Son transported Adam out of the Garden to their natural habitat.
