5.  Good
          Goodness is a positive force that always existed with the Holy Trinity.  This goodness was translated into the earthly realm during all aspects of creation.
          {Gen. 1:10}
6.  Evil
          Evil is a negative force that came from the free will choosing of Lucifer becoming proud.  Lucifer was an exalted angel in heaven.  God rejected his proud nature and cast him and his demons down to earth.  His name become Satan.
          {Isaiah 14:12}
7.  Mankind
          Human beings were created by God in His own image.  First Adam as the male, then Eve
as the female who was taken from Adam.  Because God breathed into man the breath of life, he became a living soul.  God chose to make him ruler over all earthly things.  Man is the only being that has a free will to choose between good or evil.  Man and woman have equal value with God.
          {Gen. 1:26}
8.  Paradise
          When God created earth, he wanted a place for all living things to dwell together in perfect harmony.  Therefore he selected a paradise haven on earth, known as The Garden of Eden.  This garden, perfect with all its splendor, contained all essential needs for both man and woman to live with.  Within the garden were two trees, which resembled eternal aspects of God.  These trees were named The Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and The Tree of life.
          {Gen 2:9}
9.  Failure
          Adam and Eve were allowed to eat of every tree in the garden, but God commanded them to not eat of The Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, lest they would die.  The fruit of that tree was pleasant to look upon but was horribly tainted with evil.  Satan, in the serpent form, asked Eve to take of the fruit.  Eve took and gave to Adam some of the fruit.  They both ate together and then became aware that they were naked and different. This temptation led to the first sin and failure for mankind.
         {Gen. 3:3}
10.  Fallen state
          Since the first sin, mankind became separated from God and was evicted from paradise, to no longer eat from the Tree of Life, because death was pronounced upon them.  The earth and all the environment became wretched with evil.  The good that existed alone now must mix with evil or sin. 
          {Gen 3:22}
