How did Adam and Eve get down on earth?

Many were told that Adam and Eve were the first human couple on earth. They were send from heaven. I am curious as how Adam and Eve got down on earth: is it by evolution as in Darwin theory, or they were zoomed as in the Star War etc.

I have a simple thought on how Adam and Eve landed on earth, for comments.

I am a muslim, so I believe that Adam and Eve was first created as 'ruh" and lived in the higher heaven. At the same time God created the physical body of 'man' through evolution on earth. When the time was right, God breathed Adam's and Eve's ruh or soul into a male and a female 'human' on earth. Thus Adam and Eve were the first human couple with ruh. It is just like Jesus's ruh was breathed into the body of Marry, his mother.
Comment please.

There are so many ways for humans to get down. The Kama Sutra lists many of them.

Some of them may even constitute a misuse of ruh, otherwise known as "ruh-roh."

I am sorry that other posters have not treated your question with respect. Welcome to RF by the way.

First of all, the scriptures do not say that God took 'ruh' from heaven to make Adam. It says in Genesis that God made man from the elements of the earth, and after forming his body, he put breath in his lungs and started him breathing. With the breath of life, Adam "became" a soul. After a period of time, educating the man, naming the animals etc, God formed a woman from his own DNA, using a rib. He brought the woman to the man as a marriage mate and told them to fill the earth with their kind.

Neither were in heaven before their creation....they simply did not exist. We don't either. We are all a product of our parent's gene pool. Jesus could not be the product of fallen human genetics because he had to pay for Adam's sin with a sinless life.....he was produced by God's spirit which meant that he did not have a defective sinful nature. He was the perfect sacrifice for our sins.

That is how Christians see things.

Heaven and Earth are symbolic of the unconscious and conscious minds of humans, respectively. Instinctive humans or the pre-humans were under the control of the unconscious mind; heaven and paradise, similar to the animals. It is called heaven because it was in harmony with nature and God.

Adam and Eve, on the other hand are free moral agents with will power and choice. This allows them to override instinct and lose that natural character. This is the realm of the conscious mind and ego; earth. The symbolism is about a transition from natural man to modern man in the psychological sense; prehuman to human. Once they lost instinct, via choice, they became vulnerable; death appears.

A good analogy is the difference between natural dogs like the wolf and domesticated dogs like the poodle. It is not about biology, since both have the same biology. It is about how the dog mind is structured. In the case of dogs, humans offered new environment potentials and a new selection process which change dog nature to domesticated.

In the case of Adam and Eve, there was another sets of potentials at work. The timing of Genesis, in terms of years; 6000 years ago, corresponds with the invention of written language. The animal brain is in a natural flux allowing adaptation in a changing environment. The wolf is naturally adaptive, unlike the poodle. Written language dams that up; carved into stone. This dams up the natural flux of instinct to cause a repression of instinct; descend from heaven to earth. This changes the human selection process to those who can remember and follow the written laws.

I believe the narratives on this are most likely allegorical even though there's no way of telling whether the Jewish composer(s) saw it that way.

In fact not Adam and Eve but how HUMAN come to earth from sperm and egg two (maybe) chimps who were developed very near to homo sapiens by evolution.
(Chimp or someone who very similar human)

The Qur'an says in the verse 1/4:

1.O people! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord, Who created you from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind)...

And what is this 'single being'?

Then we look at The Qur'an 2nd verse of 76th surah:

2. Surely We have created man from a small life-germ uniting (itself)...

Humans are the product of evolution. Our ancestors were not chimps, but we shared a common ancestor with chimps. There were never only two people.

I think they fell down, slipped. It was a great fall. They might have landed on a ski slope or perhaps in the ocean near the coast and then swam ashore.
