I believe that God created man from the dust of the earth, and woman from the rib of the man. I believe that both the man and woman fell into temptation and rebelled against their Creator. I believe that when sin entered the world, death came with it and led to the fallen creation we know today. I believe that by its own means, humanity is depraved, desiring only what is evil.
