An unqualified no.
The amount of inbreeding required for two people to populate the earth is frightening.

Yes, I do. For one thing, science has already proven through tracing mitochondrial DNA that the entire human race descended from a single female, which is Biblically correct. The sciences of Geology and Paleozoology prove that there was once a worldwide Flood that buried most of the animals and people living at the time under layers of sediment, which later fossilized into sedimentary rock, in which almost all fossils today are found. Noah's father Lamech was old enough to know Adam personally, and Adam could have proved that he was created and not born of a woman, because he and Eve didn't have a belly button. Noah's children, Shem, Ham and Japheth, lived long enough to know Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation, and after that is all written history. So you see, going back from Abraham, there were only 4 generations to Adam, so there was always a living eyewitness. There would have been no time for false legends to arise.

NO and the stroy you know is not the whole story either - the ORIGINALS Jewish texts tell of Adam's FIRST wife Lilith who was cast out for not wanting to be subservient - then along came Eve. Of course all of the books of all of the religions are all man made and therefore FULL OF S H I T... accept that man is a creative creature and stop leaving it up to the fictional father to wipe your nose.

When I read the rest of the Bible, it becomes apparently that Jesus, the apostle Paul, and others believed in the story, and made it a major part of their theology. Try reading Romans 5 sometime and see if Adam is treated as a "myth" there. So if I believe any part of the Bible, then I have to believe that part as well. Yes, I do.

God got some dirt, made a man and called him Adam and then got Adam's rib and made a woman called Eve??
Tonight, I will be leaving a mince pie out for Santa and a tooth under my pillow for the tooth fairy. I spend my days under bridges conversing with leprecauns and unicorns.
So, my answer to your question is No.

If Adam and Eve are truly the ancestors of the whole of humanity, how did we arrive here with such a diversity of genes and phenotypes?
Exactly, we couldn't have without evolution.
So no, it's bronze age mythology.

Not literally, no. I think the story is not supposed to be taken literally.
Plus, you should not believe what the bible tells you, especially at face value. The King James edition is the only latest revision in man's definition of God. Throughout history portions of the bible have been altered or removed to suit the politic of the day. It is not accurate.

No. I mean I believe that there were 2 people who met and reproduced but I dont believe the serpent convincing her to eat the apple part at all. Or that they were made of mud. Its too magical and there is no such thing. I have a hard time believing Noahs ark too.

No, but the very first time my mom told me about it I did. I was about 2. I immediately started questioning the 'rib' part of the story and from then on I had doubts since that just seemed impossible to me.
