Whether man was created in paradise?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that man was created in paradise. For the angel was created in his dwelling-place---namely, the empyrean heaven. But before sin paradise was a fitting abode for man. Therefore it seems that man was created in paradise.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, other animals remain in the place where they are produced, as the fish in the water, and walking animals on the earth from which they were made. Now man would have remained in paradise after he was created (Question [97], Article [4]). Therefore he was created in paradise.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, woman was made in paradise. But man is greater than woman. Therefore much more should man have been made in paradise.
