Because Adam and Eve were free agents, love and relationship were made possible, but so was evil. Adam and Eve had free will and therefore were capable of rebelling against the one who created them. They ate fruit from the tree that was forbidden to them by God. When Adam and Eve chose to rebel against their Creator in this way, the whole of creation became disordered. There was now alienation and disharmony between man and God, between man and man, and between man and nature.
