'''The Father's Temple''' is a monument dedicated to the [[Universal Father]] found throughout [[the universes]] especially upon worlds serving as headquarters for various administrative units of the [[Master Universe]]. There usually exists at least two of these on normal [[evolutionary worlds]], one at the center of the headquarters of a [[Planetary Prince]] and another at the center of the [[Garden of Eden|Garden headquarters]]. Both these were lost on [[Urantia]] due first to the [[Lucifer Rebellion]] and then later to the [[Default of Adam and Eve]]. No doubt, these centers will be restored in due time when the ill effects of these double setbacks are [[Correcting Time|corrected]].
==Quotes==
The buildings of [[Dalamatia]] were all one story except the council headquarters, which were two stories, and the central ''temple of the Father'' of all, which was small but three stories in height. [[66:3|66:3.5]]

When [[Van]] and his associates made ready the Garden for [[Adam and Eve]], they transplanted the [[Tree of Life|Edentia tree]] to the [[Garden of Eden]], where, once again, it grew in a central, circular [[courtyard]] of another temple to the Father. And Adam and Eve periodically partook of its fruit for the maintenance of their dual form of physical life.
When the plans of the [[Material Son]] went astray, Adam and his family were not permitted to carry the core of the tree away from the Garden. When the [[Nodites]] invaded [[Eden]], they were told that they would become as “gods if they partook of the fruit of the tree.” Much to their [[surprise]] they found it unguarded. They ate freely of the fruit for years, but it did nothing for them; they were all material mortals of the realm; they lacked that endowment which acted as a [[complement]] to the fruit of the tree. They became enraged at their inability to benefit from the [[tree of life]], and in connection with one of their internal wars, the temple and the tree were both destroyed by fire; only the stone wall stood until the Garden was subsequently submerged. This was the second temple of the Father to perish. [[73:6|73:6.6-7]]
