The Man Has Spoken Let It Be!

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth and the earth was without form and  void  darkness was upon the face of the deep And the Spirit of God  moved upon the face of the waters and God said let there be light right and there was light so now let us concentrate on the man God made man the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground  and breathed into his nostril the breathe of life and man became a living soul and the Lord God planted a garden 
eastward in Eden and there he put man whom he had formed and out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good  for food. The tree of life also in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge  of good and evil and a river and he named the rivers and the Lord commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden thou may freely eat but but the tree of knowledge of good and evil thou shall not eat it for in the day that thou eatest it thereof  thou shall surely die And the Lord God said It is not good that man should be alone I will make him an help meet for him
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the air and brought them to Adam and whatsoever Adam called every living creature that was the name thereof and Adam gave names  to all cattle  and to the fowl of the air and to every beast of the field. But But for Adam there were not found an help meet for him So and the Lord God cause a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept and he took one of his ribs  and closed up the flesh instead thereof and the rib which the Lord God had taken from male made he a Woman and brought her unto the man and this is what Adam said This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh and she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man therefore shall  man leave his father and leave his mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh and they were both naked the man and his wife and were not ashamed! and naked we came into this world and naked shall we all be! Amen
