Adam and Eve

Spirit of Light

Be who ever you want
All the Abrahamic religions have some teaching about Adam and Eve (as far as i know)

The question is, is Adam and Eve the true names of the very first human beings? or is that something that come later?

If they were the first humanoids on earth, do they not predate Homosapiens too?
Where they actually a different form of humans?

Guess it depends how one understand the story :)

They could have looked like humans, except that they wouldn't have had navels, unless God thought that they should have some just for the fun of it :D

Many of the early chapters in Genesis especially are probably largely "myths" [doesn't mean falsehood] meant to teach some basic beliefs and teachings within early Judaism, thus not necessarily to be taken literally.

Made up by desert dwelling nomads to explain the unknown.

Learn evolution.
There is a very slow transition from ape to human. A bit like going from Black to White, there is no distinct moment when black stops being grey and becomes white
I can not say what others should believe :) But personally i do not believe in the Ape to human evolution

Maybe evolution is true. And maybe evolution is not true. Remember it's called "The theory of evolution".

You do not accept The Theory of Evolution - that is 101 biology

There is no point in discussing this any further
I am a believer in the teaching of religion and Allah, not in man, but an harmless discussion is not something i would shy away from
