Countdown Day 48: The Creation of Earth and Man, and the Veil
Jesus Christ, under the direction of Heavenly Father, created Earth (and the rest of our known plane of existence) as a place for us to be tested in a myriad of ways. After all, we couldn't receive bodies without a place to put them, right?
Creation went through 7 days. On the 6th day, man (Adam and Eve) was created. They were given the Garden of Eden to take care of, and learned at the knees of Heavenly Father.
Why did they need to learn?
Not only were Adam and Eve in a natural, innocent, childlike state, but they had forgotten the premortal existence, as all of God's children have. The reason for this is a "veil of forgetfulness" placed by God.
If it wasn't for the veil, there would be no point in coming to earth. We wouldn't need to exercise faith in God, because we would literally know and remember that He exists.
