Humankind is the only beast of the field created in the image of God. Angels not formed from the dust and other beast of the field are not subject to salvation .Only the human kind.

Yes it would appear that way, but appearing that way does not make it fact. Therefore it is unknown How long they were in the Garden. Also they did not have to perform any services. They only had one Law. Do not eat of the Tree. They were not asked or commanded to do anything else. So then from the time Adam and Eve were created till their fall. Every day would have been the same. Walk around, eat, pet the animals, sleep, swim, and pee and poop. If they did this for a week or 7 years, description of both would be the same. Therefore unknown how long they were in the Garden till they fell.

Since no man knows what we will be as new creatures and the characteristics of it when we do receive our new incorruptible bodies. In the same way we do not know what the bodies and Adam and Eve or the other beast of the field or the characteristics.

We do not even know if we had a stomach to digest corrupted food and pee and poop. That (Human waste) could have been a result of the fall .He calls it filth or unclean and must be out of sight as a reminder of death . It like the unclean animal that were redeemed were also to be hidden out of sight. No reminders of death

Before the corruption covering ones nakedness was not needed possibly covering human waste was not part of the original order and it will revert back in the new heavens ans earth

Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee: For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.Deu 23:12

We can speculate..according to His calculations.


1Corinthians 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

shrume said:
There was much more to Adam and Eve's time in Eden than idle playtime.

Gen 2:
15) And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Also:
Gen 1:
28) And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

God told them to be fruitful and multiply. They sinned before they even conceived their first child.

It is reasonable to conclude they were not in the garden very long.

True. However as i said, and is True. Scriptures does not reveal how long they were in the Garden. Therefore all is speculation and assumptions. What they could not have been in the Garden for a year without reproducing and multiplying?
How long were they busy dressing the Earth? A day, a week, a year? Again we can assume all we want how long they were actually in the Garden. But the Truth still remains, we don't know. Unless God reveals it to someone.
