In the Garden of Eden, God put it from the source of meaning "to bear" the garden of Eden of his own. The first person worked in a miraculous fertile garden of God. "Tree of Life" is the theme of Mesopotamia. In the epic poem of Gilgamesh, the hero is given a plant named "People become young when they get older", but snakes stole plants from him though. There were lots of academic arguments about the type of knowledge given by the second tree. Recommendations include human quality, sexual awareness, moral knowledge or general knowledge, and are finally widely accepted. In the Garden of Eden, human beings can choose wisdom and life and choose the first one.

According to the Bible's Old Testament Genesis, the Garden of Eden is the ground paradise, the home of Adam and Eve, the first men and women. The Bible says that God created a garden to plant all the "visible trees for food". The Garden of Eden is a rich fertile land into which four rivers flow into the world. After Adam was created, God put him in the garden so that he can take care of it. God said to Adam, in addition to trees, what kind of tree nuts, good and evil trees can also be eaten. Then God gave Adam a job of creating animals and birds and naming them. Understanding that Adam needed a friend, God let him sleep, picked up one of his ribs, and then created Eve.

The Garden of Eden, also known as Heaven, is the first garden made by God (Adam and Eve) to live in a corrupted garden. "Falling" refers to the moment when God drives Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden and tastes the tree of knowledge. The secret garden is related to the Garden of Eden Through a story about the era of Martha's God, Mr. Kraiven and his wife were there before her words "fall", that is, she is from a rose tree Fallen Death It is similar to the Garden of Eden because it represents an innocent and ideal paradise of Mary and Dickon. Like the Garden of Eden, when they are in their own walls, they have a unique and intimate relationship with God (sometimes called magic, and "great goodness"). The work in their garden is compared to the work of "nest building" Of course, this has a kind of marriage feeling - as Adam and Eve have become.
