According to the Biblical Book of Genesis, God created the Garden of Eden as a dwelling place for the first two humans, Adam and Eve. Eden was a paradise of plenty where Adam and Eve would never suffer illness or death. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve defied the will of God by eating the forbidden fruit at the center of the garden, and God cast them out of Eden so that they would no longer live forever. According to Genesis, a cherub with a flaming sword guards the Garden of Eden to prevent humans from returning.

As with many passages in Genesis, there is debate among Christians whether or not the story of the Garden of Eden should be taken literally or metaphorically. If literally, there is also debate over how long ago Adam and Eve were banished from paradise.
