irsh that is rather maquiavelic...the goal justifies the way...so if we can make good people it is ok to make them live in ignorance??? well it is a philosphical topic to be discussed

the story is just a parable.
think of it like the book animal farm- everything has a hidden meaning.
humans are connected to the earth and males and females are different but come from each other and can only exist due to the other one.
maybe god was trying to tell all of these males that treating like garbage for thousands of years wasn't what he wanted

I agree that Adam and Eve never existed. But the message that came forth from that story has a lot of truth to it. So, I'd focus on the bigger picture and see if the person actually is taking to heart the theme of this story.
Fact or fiction doesn't really matter in the long run, it's how we've used what the author has taught us that makes all the difference.
I say if the person makes the discussion out to be something of a gender related arguement then yes it would be like a lot like talking to a 4 year old. But if they can be a better person because of what has been relayed to them, then I don't think it matters what they believe it terms of existance or not.
Hope this helps!

The story of Adam and Eve , is a way of telling history to children, every race or creed has an Adam and Eve or an Adam and peptide. You know what I'm getting at , stories are the way we teach our past to our future. Give any and every one there beliefs and security and allow them to feel safe in there own skin just as you do in yours ! It's called respect

how bout people who make their arguments in favor of evolution because they believe school text books
one persons comments:
The reasons people believe the theory of evolution originate in the school education system. Kids are taught that life can evolve given enough time. This is a false statement without any scientific support. They are taught that a monkey at a typewriter could punch keys at random and would type President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address if given enough time. This is nonsense. These government educated kids actually believe this nonsense, just ask one of them. Time does not make impossible things possible. As an example, a computer was programmed in an attempt to arrive at the simple 26 letter alphabet. After 35,000,000,000,000 (35 trillion) attempts it has only arrived at 14 letters correctly. What are the odd that a simple single cell organism could evolve with the complexity of more than 60,000 proteins of 100 different configurations all in the correct places? Never in eternity. Time does not make impossible things possible.
Books published by evolutionists have shown the giant Cetiosaurus dinosaur with a long neck extending upright eating from the treetops. They claimed natural selection was the reason Cetiosaurus had a long neck. This gave them an advantage in reaching fodder that other species could not reach. One day during the assembly of a skeleton for a museum display someone noticed the neck vertebrae were such that the neck could not be lifted higher than stretched horizontally in front of them. The natural selection theory was proven to be a big lie. The Cetiosaurus dinosaur was an undergrowth eater. The long neck actually placed the Cetiosaurus at a disadvantage in his environment, just the opposite from the natural selection theory.
Charles Darwin admitted that fossils of the transitional links between species would have to be found in order to prove his "Theory of Evolution." However, these transitional links have never been found. We only find individual species. Evolutionists try to form these individual species into a link according to similar major features, such as wings or four legs, but this simply proves the Theory of Evolution to be a fraud. Darwin was hopeful that future fossils would prove his theory correct; but instead, the lack of transitional links has proven his theory to be wrong.
Evolutionists are going ape over "Ape-Girl."
The fossilized bones of a new animal have been found in Ethiopia near the site where "Lucy" was discovered many years ago. The number of bones of the skeleton are unique because Lucy had only a few head fragments. This find gives us a lot of information about the animal because major parts of the skeleton were unearthed (assuming these are all from the same animal). It has teeth in the jaw and is said to also have unerupted teeth still within the jaw. The evolutionists call the animal a "human-like" female child about three years of age and an "individual."
The evolutionists call the animal a "transitional species" and a human ancestor even though it has a head exactly like a modern day ape. The jaw is thrust forward and the forehead pushed back and slanted. The true appearance is more easily seen from side picture below.
Ape-girl also has arms "that dangled down to just above the knees. It also had gorilla-like shoulder blades which suggest it could have been skilled at swinging through trees." It looks like an ape. It has a head like an ape. It has arms like an ape. It has shoulder blades like an ape. It is obviously an ape, not a human, pre-human or humanoid. Evolutionists simply will not accept the obvious. This animal is simply a young ape. Its size is as would be expected for a young modern-day ape.
Evolutionistic scientists call these ape-like features "evolutionary baggage." In other words, these scientists are discrediting their own evolutionary theory of "natural selection." They are calling the ape-like features unnecessary "baggage." The theory of natural selection is not supposed to have unnecessary baggage, remember?
The age of this fossilized animal is also very much in doubt. Evolutionistic scientists also claimed a tooth found was Nebraska Man, a pre-human fossil millions of years old. They determined the age of the tooth. The evolutionistic scientists had sculptured an entire ape-like skeleton from information they found in one tooth. These lies were exposed when real scientists found the tooth to be from a modern day pig.
Evolution is in trouble. The growth of biological knowledge is producing scientific facts that contradict the evolutionary theory not confirm it, a fact that famous Prof. Steven Jay Gould of Harvard has described as "the trade secret of paleontology." The fossil record simply does not support the evolutionary theory that there once existed a series of successive forms leading to the present day organism. The theory states that infinitesimal changes within each generation evolve into a new species, but the scientific fact remains that they don't. Fossils prove the sudden emergence of a new species out of nowhere, complete with characteristics unknown in any other species. The fossil record has no intermediate or transitional forms. This is popularly known as the "missing link" problem, and it exists in all species. The missing link problem is getting worse not better with the discovery of more fossils. The missing links are not being discovered, which proves they never existed. Darwin assumed transitional forms would be discovered in the fossil record over time, but that has not been the case. The fossil record, or lack thereof, is a major embarrassment to evolutionists. The fossil record is a serious rebuke of the theory of evolution. New species literally explode onto the scene out of nowhere. New fossil discoveries continue to prove evolution to be wrong.

If it was just the Adam and Eve story, it wouldn't be so hard -- but when they also insist on believing that Cain's wife was his own sister or the convenient product of another creation taking place behind the next hill, I wanna choke them into unconsciousness.
And don't even get me started on the Noah's Ark story!

There are some awfully smart people who believe Adam and Eve were really people.
Including some Astronauts who have walked on the moon.

Not real
Women do not come from a rib of Adam as a male is borne of a female...
Plus the only scientific explanation for a Virgin Mary to conceive will be similar to that of a Komodo Dragon being able to reproduce without a male mate.
Like reptiles... dinosaurs, turtles can have a neutral egg... and the gender is determined by temperature!
Women existed before men... and you know how many religious texts have to be rewritten because of it?

So what do you call the first "man" and"woman?" What DNA percentage did they share with modern humans?
Many who believe in Adam and Eve, in the past and in the present have scientific degrees. (66% of all scientists are believers in God, 76% of all doctors).

your version of Eve, is an austrolopithecus, by the name of lucy....
I thought you atheists were rational, disregarding a statement from a person simply based on their background, is known as the "genetic fallacy".
