is adan and eve the first man and woman in the world? If no, then who?

Question

if so, (according to the bible). then why archaelogists discovered human fossils which are hundreds of thousands years before adan and eve? Will this prove that the bible is not completely true?

Answer 1

There cannot have been, and never was, a "first" man and woman. Speciation is a long evolutionary process.

A certain subpopulation of pre-homo sapien ("human") hominids will have become sufficiently different from their ancestors and from other closely related hominid species of the time, to have become disinclined to interbreed with the other species. At this point (very difficult to define) the _whole population_ could be defined as a new species.

The Bible does not specifically state when adam and eve were "made" by God, but a date of around 4000BC was arrived at by some theologians many years ago. This is largely rejected by most christians today.

It is very dangerous to start mixing observed scientific evidence and knowledge with a priori statements gleaned from religious literature. Obviously some will choose to accept the religious statements wholesale, and that is a choice for them. However, that does not impact on what the evidence says about human evolution.

Answer 2

"archaelogists discovered human fossils which are hundreds of thousands years before adan and eve" Sorry, could you clarify your source? The bible doesn't exactly state how far back Adam (not Adan) and Eve were created though

Answer 3

You take a very naive view of the subject. This is an extremely poor way to try to "prove" that one view or the other is correct. Science is one way to look at the question and belief is another way. They are not connected and neither has to be completely correct. For example, the Bible doesn't tell how God created Adam. Perhaps it took a long time. If the American Indian legends are correct about our origins, does that prove that the Bible is wrong? Or perhaps that all Indians are condemned to Hell because they don't believe what Bible types tell them and prefer to accept their believes. All of these ideas are ridiculous. This problem is not so simple as you infer and does not pit one view against the other.

Answer 4

it isn't real. it isn't some thing yet a fable. i'm particular some will misrepresent the mitochondrial eve as a unmarried ancestor. Her mitochondria is the in ordinary words one surviving even though it quite is through evolution. She wasn't the in ordinary words human being on the time and anybody that lived on the time and had offspring is likewise your ancestor. She merely had a particular mutation on the DNA of her mitochondria. it will be both ignorant to assert she lived in Ethiopia even though it quite is a difficulty-free false impression by using scientists. She ought to have lived everywhere in the inhabitants lower back then.

Answer 5

ADAM , with an M and EVE were the first earthly man and woman on earth. That is according to the Holy Bible, which I believe.

Answer 6

God, before adam and eve were there, Indian culture is there. so adam and eve are the only story. its for to creat a new culture with adam and eve. And more over, no god will punish his children. Every one in this world says adam and eve did wrong by eating fruit (which not to be eated that said by god) but if every thing is known to god. then how he just leaved this couples to eat that fruit. while eating that fruit ( god is also seeing naaa. )

Answer 7

the story of Adam and Eve (like much of the Bible) is allegory, not to be taken literally

believing in it literally is like believing in Santa Claus, OK for a child but silly for a fully functioning adult

Answer 8

Acctually, what we know about history is very little that we cannot depend on. So, it depends on my believes that are stated in the Holy Quran " Adam is the first man "

Answer 9
