Do you think we are all brothers and sisters because of Adam and Eve?

Question

Why/Why not?

And please don't say things from Bible or read Bible because I'm a Muslim and I don't have a Bible..Just say your opinion.

Answer 1

Bibles aside, I beleive we are all God or Allahs children because we all came from one place or one creation,so, you are my brother to some extent and we in the world should stop hating so much and fighting in the name of God because im sure that our God nomatter what religion would not want his children to kill each other as we are now doing in his name. I think its blasfamous. Sorry if I spelled Allah wrong. peace to al and God bless you!

Answer 2

I'm acutally atheist, but I heard a theist come up with their own theory.-keep in mind that I am extremely tired so my answer may be a bit vague, and I may just end up sounding like an idiot. I might come back when I am fully rested to revise my reply.

No we are not all related.
Eve apparantly had three sons. One of the sons couldn't have banged Eve, because then she would have had more children, and it clearly states she only had three sons. So the theist's theory was that maybe God did end up creating more people, but since they weren't the first people on earth, they were of no importance, and so they were not mentioned in the bible. If there were more people, then the sons could have had children with other women.

Answer 3

Read the events that lead to adam and eve induging... Decide for yourselves whose fault was it!


If Adam and eve did not exist... there would not have been any human beings! The first of the species of human beings the revered Adam and Eve were the first to surface on Mother Earth as human beings. Their direct ancestors being the ape family!

Now Adam and Eve came onto this Earth. They had both to act as a family. Both were son and daughter of God. That made them brother and sister. How come they could have fathered children?

In the initial stages of development of human life... nothing existed which we could have called as society or community. It was a raw savage world. As per the theory of Charles Darwin, "it was the time for survival of the fittest". It was the time to do and die.

Words like ethics and morality did not exist for even words did not exist during those times. The Lipi (written form of communication) was developed at a much later stage in time.

Even a brother and sister relationship did not exist at that time. There were only two human beings who had surfaced on Mother Earth. They had to copulate and produce children. They did not do it intentionally. They never knew anything about it.

It was that it happened. They did it and something was born. At that moment of time they would have been extremely surprised not knowing what to do about it. Eventually they would have realized it was one of them.

They reared that child and with passage of time another child was born. This time it was a female child. As this small family progressed further... this male and female child copulated at the appropriate time. And the whole family started to grow.

Now there were two families. With passage of time many more families came into existence. Until this point of time there was nothing like morality and ethics that played any role. For the sake of their survival and progeny these families kept on multiplying.

This was the only way to keep intruders at bay. They had to protect themselves from the wild beings roaming Mother Earth.

Ever since the Revelations of God came into existence... the human being who had invoked these words of God realized that the system had to be ordered at some stage. And some system of morality and ethics came into being.

As of today... the copulation by the children of Adam and Eve was a sin but at that time it was not a sin for the relationship of brother and sister never existed in those times.

The development of relationships in human life came at a very later the stage. It was only possible when the community would have developed into a massive strength. Population somewhere in thousands would have prompted the wise and the elders of those times to separate out into distinct families.

We need to understand that whatever is truth today may not hold tomorrow. In a scientific developing world the values whether they are ethical, moral or otherwise keep changing.

We also need to understand that during the times of Mahabharata... the battle was fought using swords, horses and elephants. But now the warfare consists of atomic bombs, missiles and chemical warfare. More on god here- http://www.godrealized.org/sin/adam_and_eve.html

Answer 4

noah came after Adam and Eve (see the Genesis book which describes how God made the World)

Now it's a bit weird to think that just one man and one woman gave birth to the whole mankind. They had just 3 sons after all and one of them killed his brother. Does that mean that they had to copulate with their mother to keep on procreating?

Answer 5

Salam yes we r all brothers and sisters and Adam and Eve are our real parents plz contact me i m also a muslim this is my email adress [e-mail]

Answer 6

I believe that we are brothers and sisters not in the literal sense, but more through the communal sense. I agree with one of the previous answers in saying that we are all human, which brings us together.
Also, my opinion on the Genesis story...I am a Roman Catholic and believe the creation story is not meant to provide scientific fact, but meant to reveal truths about God creating the world. end.

Answer 7

NO. I believe the story of Adam and Eve was a metaphor and not intended to be taken literally.

Answer 8

Not me. But I do believe that we are all spiritual brothers and sisters because God/Allah created our souls prior to humans populating the earth.

Answer 9

Adam and Eve are fabrication of man. Now you figure out if we are all related. Who cares anyway? What is important is we all get along or people will get hurt or die.

Answer 10

Yes. If you go from an evolutionary standpoint to almost any of the religions creation stories, we all originated from a few humans and multiplied. Which means that we are all inter-related one way or the other.
