--story of adam and eve-- should we believe in it ?

Question

famous story of adam and eve, alomost mentioned in all religious books. my questions:

1. why it is commen in all leading religious books?
2. if we believe on it as such then we all are descended from same mom and father.what you think about it?
3.is there chances that we misinterpret words of divine books regarding this story.
4.humans are surely evolved from water, then would we believe on science or on divine books?

Answer 1

It may be common in all leading religious books because it is true, though I'm not sure if that's the actual reason. I don't really think much of us all being descended of the same mother and father. We don't mind DISTANT cousins getting married, so why should it disturb anyone that their significant other is very very very very distantly related to them?Of course there is room for misinterpretation- there always is. But there's not much to misinterpret about the 1st people being Adam and Eve, who had children, who had children, who...etc . and populated the whole earth. And why would you say that we are surely evolved from water? I do not beleive that. Honest question- why do you?

Answer 2

1. "why it is commen in all leading religious books?"

It's not. It's common in Genesis. That's it. No other religious books share this opinion. (with the exceptions of works BASED on Genesis)

2. "if we believe on it as such then we all are descended from same mom and father.what you think about it?"

Unlikely. Genetic damage would occur at a rate that would descimate the populous.

3."is there chances that we misinterpret words of divine books regarding this story."

Yes, on minor details. The big detail in this allegedly divine book is that all human life began from a single couple.

4."humans are surely evolved from water, then would we believe on science or on divine books?"

Humans are not evolved from water. If you're talking about genetic descent, we evolved from a pre-human primate species. If you're talking about abiogenesis - life from non-living chemicals - life did not come from merely oxygen & hydrogen. There were other chemicals. So what do you believe? That we were just blinked into existence by a higher power? Or that life was, as it still is, the result of chemical reactions?

Answer 3

Nothing tough right! j/k
I think this original couple is a special two set aside for God's own.
In the Book of Genesis, it speaks of the special Adam and Eve, but it also speaks of the Sons of God, and the Children of Men. It also shows reference that these two groups got together and made tons of children.
It is odd to me how even the most fervently religious Bible thumper will sidestep the question of incest and neglect the rest of the story.
Even Cain was afraid when he was tossed out of the Garden that he would be killed...by whom...the other people outside.
Its like the Creation Time-line...God didn't create time until the third or fourth day, so...how old is this planet really?

Answer 4

S, The story of Adam and Eve is just that, a story. It is a representation of the beginning of the human race put into terms people who lived long ago (and the children of today) could comprehend. It's about good and evil and the way man should behave toward one another, that is why it is mirrored in so many other religions as well. The foundations of most religions stem from the common belief that man should, for the most part, be good.

Answer 5

I find it interesting that so many religions share a similar creation story. I mean, it isn't as if they compared notes, is it? It seems obvious to me that at some time in the distant past, everyone shared a common faith...but then, as people drifted apart...well, you get the idea, I'm sure.
Personally, I think the story is a sort of parable...the Lord's m.o. when He wants to teach us an important lesson is to put it in the form of a parable.
Only one question, though. Where do you get the idea that humans evolved from water?? I don't think I ever heard that idea before....

Answer 6

It's actually a logical conclusion based on observation. If every person is born of a mother and a father, sometime, in the distant path, it is a reasonable conjecture to conclude that there was a single man and a single woman who started it all. Where they came from it a matter of debate.

Answer 7

yes we should believe in it. adam and eve is how we all started out. every other religion has to put it out there or their religion wouldn't exsist. people can't just come out of no where. and dont' relate god to human. thats why god is god, hes not human.
yes we all desceneded from the same mother and father. god just does some really cool stuff. yes people can misintepert some words, but thats just why there are pastors, they are there to help us understand the true word. you just need to talk to someone who understands the bible better than you. humans are NOT evolved from water. sorry were not. god made us, so we are not evolved.

Answer 8

Adam and Eve became not a concept held via the classic Jewish human beings themselves. the completed tale of advent bargains with metaphors of sturdy and undesirable, and ideal and incorrect options. you would be able to remember the occasion of the "wild animal and domesticated animal" or "sparkling and unclean" animal got here across interior the story of advent, and the crawling creature, symbolic of mans inclination to be "tripped up" via issues he could not see which we see later with the occasion of the snake or serpent. This bargains with the "wild" who're people who bypass their own way and place self belief of their own for his or her survival without legal duty to help all and sundry yet themselves. The "domesticated" are people who're made to serve. We see those 2 extremes interior the examples of Cain and Abel. One is unquestionably obedient (Abel) the different completely self-concentrated (Cain) This turns right into a basic topic by the bible. on the top of the advent tale comes "adam". Eve would not characteristic interior the advent account as a results of fact lady have been basically considered as serving adult men in Jewish subculture. that they had no different purpose. you would be able to remember Tamar, (as considered in Matthews kinfolk tree) who seems against Jewish custom in that kinfolk tree as a results of fact Tamar beared her uncle a son. This became considered as an act of windfall to God. "Adam and Eve" (observe Eve makes the 1st mistake lower back) shows how judgements are made. We benefit expertise, then journey, then know-how. the factor of the story is that know-how is extra efficient than expertise. This too turns right into a topic matter considered by the bible. As for a literal tale? nicely, you may not end human beings believing what human beings have faith.

Answer 9

All? Two at my last count.

All civilisations have a creation myth that is one among many.

We are all related to the first scraps of self-replicating molecules about 3 billion years ago though probably not to just one man and/or woman despite some claims to the contrary.

Whether or not we misinterpret myths makes not one blind bit of difference, and..

Don't understand the last bit.

Answer 10

I really don't care what people believe as long as they aren't hurting me or anyone else in the process. I personally don't believe in Adam and Eve.
