He creates humans in His own Image, then rests. Everything He made is good. Garden of Eden God puts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, depicting a perfect environment and relationship with God, and blesses them to rule the earth and create like He does. The Rebellion God gives humans the ability to choose. A serpent tempts them to disobey God and sin contaminates humanity and creation. God prophesies redemption for humans. The Flood Humans populate the Earth and become exceptionally corrupt. Saddened, God floods the whole earth. Noah builds an ark and is spared. God reinstates His covenant with Noah. Scattering of Nations People repopulate, create Babylon, and desire a great tower to make themselves famous. God scatters and confuses them with different languages before it is built.
