What proofs do we have that Adam and Eve existed?

Question

I am developing a list and maybe you can help.

1.Jesus believed they existed.
2. The New Testament writers believed they existed.
3.They were made from earth materials and we need minerals in our diet to keep fit.
4. I don't believe evolution can produce a male and a female at the same time that fit together so perfectly physically, mentally, and emotionally.
5.Women have pain during childbirth, animals don't. Part of the curse.

Answer 1

The existence of an Eve was made fact through the study of our mitochondrial DNA.

Answer 2

Well not to shoot you down but just wanted to clarify something for you regard "proof" there is not actual proof of their existance, the closest thing is their documentation in the bible. Other evidence of possible proof might be documentation of a similar begining 2 people in other religions as well.

1.Jesus believed they existed. Never is actually stated like this
2. The New Testament writers believed they existed. How do you know this, did you talk to them

With regards to 1 and 2 many people believe in a living santa claus magic, world peace and true love none of which actually exists
3.They were made from earth materials and we need minerals in our diet to keep fit. This is a very very weak argument

4. I don't believe evolution can produce a male and a female at the same time that fit together so perfectly physically, mentally, and emotionally. what you believe versus what is true are 2 very different things, do some research on the origins of sexual reproduction versus asexual reproduction and you will find there is a very strong evidence supporting evolution of 2 very distinct sexes

5.Women have pain during childbirth, animals don't. Part of the curse. You really think animals dont feel pain during childbirth, wrong animals have learned to hide their pain as part of a survival strategy, many animals surely do feel pain during childbirth.

All and all if you looking for "proofs" and want a strong argument look for the facts such as documentation found in several different resources such as evidence of a beginning 2 peoples in different religions such as various native american culture, in the koran, the bible old testament, I would ignore the new testament far too much time between early old testament and new testament to make new testament a worthy piece of proof in this particular case. You might even look into some archeaological evidence that might be available. Before you do anything else look into the definition of proof or change the statement that you are making.

Answer 3

1. & 2. The Bible is full of contradictions...read it.

3. We are made from the same matter as all animals...nature recycles all things continuosly...so naturally we need minerals, because we contain them.

4. Evolution would have to develop both male and female simultaneously in order for a species to survive. All human embryos start out as female and then either remain females or develop into males....learn some biology.

5. Animals DO feel pain at birth. Where in the world did you ever get the idea that they didn't? And there is no such thing as a curse.

I cannot believe the ignorance taught by religions....sigh.

Answer 4

1) who says Jesus existed?
2) who trusts the New Testament?
3) Diet? proving existence? that's a stretch.
4) There were already animals, if you believe the story... and they were reproducing... right?
5) are you suggesting CHILDBIRTH PAIN is a punishment?

And what about the FRUIT... being a METAPHOR for SEX?

They Had SEX... and got booted.

The polite thing was to call it "Eve's Fruit"... she Offered it to ADAM? (poor guy)

anyway...

None of your arguments hold any water.

The truth is that NOBODY was around to WITNESS it... that is still around to back it up... so ... it comes down to... guess what...




FAITH!!!!!

Give up the list... or develop a time machine. And ADMIT that it's FAITH.

Do I believe in ADAM & EVE?

Absolutely... But I'm not going to justfy it with silly principles. Just admit.... You believe.. because of your FAITH.

Not: the Sun is hot, Eve was hot... the Sun exists... therefore EVE existed! Buzzzzzzz Wrong.

Answer 5

1-Jesus is a myth.
2- the writers of the new testament were writing fiction.
3-Um, not only is that silly, it's just plain supid. If humans were "made" from earth materiel, why then does our DNA so closely resemble the primates that we are closest to on the evolutionary chain?
4-wow, the stupid fairy sure left you a double helping did'nt she?
5-animals don't have birthing pain? What planet do you live on and do they have a clue phone there?
Watch an animal giving birth once in your life, believe me, they feel pain.

Answer 6

1. Not proof...this is your beliefs, your faith.
2. See above.
3. Actually we are made from Earth materials because we live on Earth...and to take it a step further, everything in the universe is made from star dust from the previous generations of stars that have died and exploded.
4. Umm...the changes that lead to evolutionary advancement are over many thousands of generations.
5. Women have pain during childbirth because the pelvis is a leftover design from our quadapedal ancestors and humans have large brains for their body size. The fact that we walk on two legs lead to changes that result in the birth canal being to small for our large skulls that house our large brains.

Answer 7

We have not a shred of scientific proof they existed. Anyone who thinks we have proof of Adam and Eve's existence are fooling themselves. All of your 'proofs' are nonsense, and are not proofs at all. Imagine this as a purely hypothetical situation. Don't get offended and quit reading, it's only hypothetical. God gave you a mind, and he wants you to use it, so read it fully. Here goes: Man has been around for hundreds of thousands of years. He used to live in caves, hunt with clubs, and had a really rough time. He didn't care why things happened like they did, as long as he had enough to eat. He finally got the great idea to herd animals so he would always have enough to eat, and he also discovered that he could plant certain plants near his home and harvest the edible parts. Man got comfortable after a while. He learned to make tools out of stone, houses out of wood and mud, clothes out of skins. He learned that for survival purposes, it is better to hunt in a pack. He began learning social skills. The better the packs got, the more efficient their food gathering skills became, and the less they had to go out for food. They soon had time to wonder who made everything. Of course! It was another man who made us all, but since he is powerful enough to do that, and we never see him, he must be invisible! But wait!!! Where did the first humans come from??? He must have made us too, but hmm.... Now I have to explain why my life sucks so bad... I mean why couldn't I just kick back and do nothing all the time??? Why would God make me do all this crap and have a hard life??? I know! It's a punishment, and that damn woman over there tricked me into doing something wrong!!! Bah! Women! That's why my last one died during childbirth! Oh well, we'll pray to our God during the next one, hopefully he will be 'merciful' enough to let her live... She does look kind of good in that doeskin...

Answer 8

there is no true proof, a person just relies on there up-bringings, no, animals do feel during child-birth, have you ever watched them give birth??? a female can feels pain and pants hevaly as the kittens come out, she feels as humans do, apes aswell, sometimes they don't realize they are going into labor as humans sometimes do, labor is not a curse. to feel pain whenin labor is not a curse, if humans did not feel pain many things could go wrong, pain is there to help humans, bearing children is also a gift, to be able to bring life into the world is the most fantastic thing ever, i look forward to it, watch dogma. i know it isn't made to be taken seriously but it has great points and helps better understand things. listen to all sides of the story before you make judgement, it is reserved for one...

Answer 9

1. that's not very convicing to some one who doesn't believe Jesus is God
2. a New testament writer also believed that women should keep quiet in church. and again not very convincing to someone who doesn't believe in the bible.
3.we also need food in our system to keep fit, are we made from food? and we dont really need red clay in our system in fact i think its better that we do without.
4. how is what you believe a proof
5. i think animals do feel pain during childbirth

Answer 10

easily that's not genuine, they only mandatory to have genes that have been challenge to version so as that organic decision, incredibly sexual decision, might guard something. we've a lot of information that we are descended from apes with the aid of a succession of bipedal, hominid ancestors over quite a few million years. Our noses, eyes, ears and mouths are actually not precisely comparable to those apes by way of fact of version and organic decision. the same may be genuine of Adam and Eve in the event that they had easily existed.
