Read the Bible and pray, you will find your answer when you give your soul to Jesus.

Not according to Judism. According to the Bible, people simply did whatever they pleased before Judism came along and during its history they went back time and again to idol worship. Adam was certainly not Jewish. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and The ten commandments didn't come along until thousands of years later.

There is no official evidence that the first man is the same man "Adam" that the bible talks about, there is no way of telling if he ever believed in a higher being. We only know that there was a first man to live on the Earth, not if his name was Adam or if he even had a name. Whether one should believe or not believe in Adam being the first all depends on one's personal faith

No in the day of Adam they did not have the written word of God. If you will read the first two books in the bible you will see how "Judism" came to be.

People will just counter this by saying that there *aren't* religions older than Judism, because they don't believe in a time before them. The evidence, probably archeological, is made up by scientists. I don't believe that in the least, but they will!

Judaism, per say, didn't actually start until G-d's promise to Abraham. Religion is about mediating between the human and the divine -- since Adam had had direct interaction with G-d, he wouldn't need a religion.

Adam was not the only man God created. He and Eve were the first to live in the garden, but after they got kicked out, logic tells me God must have made more people who lived in other places.
I mean Cain gets exiled from his family and he goes to some other town and gets married, there had to have been other peoples made.

Why would you think that?
"Jew" is a shortened form of the Aramaic "Yechudim" (literally "Of Judah") which refers to one of the provinces of Israel. Since the nation of Israel (as a nation) was formed in the Exodus, with its laws given by Moses coming down from the mountain in the Sinai, one wouldn't expect to find an Israel (or its specific religion) any sooner than that in history.

It's Judaism, and of course it's not the oldest religion. Adam is a fairy tale.

It did not become Judaism until the Jews received the Mosaic Law. Prior to that there were worshippers of Jehovah God but not a large organization of people.

Adam had no religion, religion did not exist back then. It came a few thousand years later.
