It's all based on myths, so it makes no difference since there is no real PROOF.

You are misrepresenting "your" bible. The word generally mistranslated as the male name "Adam" is actually the word for "mankind" in the original text. Read a book. Study a little theological history. And form your own "educated" opinion, instead of just repeating what you've been fed by church management.
If you insist on believing the bible to be supernatural God-given dogma rather than (perhaps divinely-inspired) general guidance, then you must believe pi=3 (1 Kings 7), and that the correct punishment for any murder is to both "turn the other cheek" and simultaneously kill the offender.
Your bible also commands you (Dt.13:6-10) to stone your family TO DEATH if they are not devout Christians.
Likely there was no "first" man on earth, there were stages of more and more "man-like" primates that interbred over a period of time until the speciation of "homo sapiens" occured.
If you reject evolution, then I hope you also reject all antibiotics except the first one developed! If evolution is a myth, how can new anti-biotic-resistant strains of bacteria come into existence? Is it.... Satan?

The bible also says that there are unicorns. Look it up.
You are trying to say that evolution did not happen because those early human type creatures did not have the manners to write down their names or perhaps were so uncouthe that they did not even have names.
Can you give me the names of your relatives from 2400 B.C.? No? Well, that must mean that you do not exist. All you are doing is scrambling to find a reason to keep believing in something that you know is not true.
The bible is a wonder repository of ignorance.

Adam and Eve = symbolic creation myth meant to point to the mystery of existence and the mystery of the human condition.
First modern humans (homo sapiens) appeared 130,000 years ago. Note: there's strong evidence, based on mitochondria, of a single woman whose genes are present in everyone on earth.

You're right, we cannot have an answer. Your question only makes sense if you believe that there was a first man. However, there's this thing called "evolution" (perhaps you've heard of it)- with 150 years of science behind it.
How did Noah fit all 30 Million species of animals on his ark?
Or even the 200,000 species of (non-swimming) beetles.

Your bible says a lot of things. So do the Grimm Fairy Tales. I don't believe either to be truth.
There's no way to say who the first man was, since there were no witnesses present with video camcorders and no written history at the time.

You don't have an answer, you have a response. There's a difference.
An answer is information based on evidence that fits together nicely with all other known facts in an ever-expanding quilt of knowledge.
A response is a gutteral sound made in place of saying "I don't know."

There was no 'first man', there were simply the offspring species of one particular branch of simians who demonstrated non-simian traits due to naturally occuring mutation over millenia.

I offer three words most "Christians" fear " I don't know". There's sometings we will never know the answer to. The Bible also says there's talking snakes and 900 year old men. Get a clue.

My uncle jack! An equally silly answer to an equally silly question.
What an odd question. Ask an archologist about the oldest fosile of man found and you are nearing your question.

The hominids that evolved into humans, thanks to G-d of course.
I don't believe that there was a single 1 or 2 first people, instead I feel that it was an entire group of many many first people who evolved probably during the same time frame.
