How do you know Adam and Eve exisited?

Question

Don't freak out, please. Thaaanks.

How do you know Adam and Eve existed? Who wrote it in the bible? Them? Did they invent the written language then? If it was passed down, how do you know it wasn't altered?

And who did their son marry? His sister? Or his mom?

No, I'm talking about those who literally believe in Adam and Eve.

People who answered yes didn't answer any of my questions. Answer them. Thanks.

You get a grip. Not all of my questions are answered. Wow, you're SO Christian!

WOAH WEIRD GUYS!
I just read the bible and it says you cannot have sex with your sister. Hmm... something is up here. This bible is contradictory. ODD, wouldn't you say?

Answer 1

Where else could skimpy and virtually useless clothing have come from?

Answer 2

How do I know Adam and Eve existed?
- I believe that Adam and Eve existed because the Bible tells me so.

Who wrote it in the bible?
- Moses wrote the first 5 books, the first being Genesis(the first part in which Adam and Eve made their debut)Adam and Eve didn't write the Bible. But I will give you a link so you can find out who all wrote the books of the Bible: http://www.howtodothings.com/religion-and-spirituality/a2644-how-to-understand-who-wrote-the-books-of-the-bible.html


Did they invent the written language then?
- Adam and Eve obviously had some type of communicatio because Eve was able to talk Adam into eating the fruit.

If it was passed down, how do you know it wasn't altered?
- I don't know what you mean, the language or the Bible? I can't say anything about the language but in the Bible there is a pretty stern warning:

I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. (Rev 22:18,19)

And who did their son marry? His sister? Or his mom?
-In the beginning there wasn't anyone that WASN'T a relative so God made it right to for Adam and Eve's sons to marry their sisters and/or neices to populate the area with their seed. I'm NOT going to touch the "mom" question! And in the times of Noah and the flood God made it right again until the world was populated.

And then it was written in the Bible that incest is wrong. God made it right only to populate the world.

Answer 3

His sister. All the characters in the Bible where real and the information doesn't have the feel mythologies do. The story was a handed down until Moses wrote it down. We don't know if it was verbal or written, probably verbal or both. The Jews were very religious about accuracy because they were being completely honest. It reads like a texbook except with more precision, incredible internal consistency and understandings even beyond intuition, probably because weeknesses in the gene pool hadn't developed so much yet as they have now. Drugs and different things over the ages damage genes. Everything in the universe tends to run down. The story is real because you get more basic lessons to a real life then one manufactured to make a limited conscious point. It intuits on all levels and we haven't gone far from where they left off in maturity, let's call it. We're pretty much taking up where they left off over seven thousand years ago. It's taken that long to like grow up enough, except for boys.

Answer 4

No one really knows.
Mankind claims such, but not all of mankind.
Some people claim that God created more than one set of Adam and Eve's, and I kinda side with that idea myself.
It was humans to write these stories down as well, and then these diaries of old were found and decided upon to be placed into a book called the bible.

How did their son, whom was Caine find a wife? That is why I believe there was more than one couple created.

Answer 5

yes they exist, no they didnt write anything, instead of going back in time then going forward, you need to go from the present, then go back. adam and eve are the first human, they are not idenified. whoever the first male and female human is.. we dont care about their real name, we only care about who they are and their role as the birthmaker of the human race. we just call them adam and eve.. they are ez name our children can remember.. as far as i know, who they marry... well its 2000+ years of incestary/ orgy im sure theres even some first & second gender mixes after all ir only takes 15 years or so for a child to reproduce..

Answer 6

I don't know that Adam and Eve existed. I assume that they did not exist, because the opening chapters of Genesis clearly indicate that the story is allegorical, and that "Adam" is simply representative of humanity as a whole.

Answer 7

ADAM AND EVE EXISTED BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE. GOD INSPIRED MAN TO WRITE THE BIBLE. I BELIEVE THEY WRITE IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE BUT THEY TRANSLATE IT INTO ENGLISH. IT IS PASSED DOWN AND IT IS NOT ALTERED BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY GUIDENCE WE HAVE TO GUIDE US THROUGH LIFE AND IF IT WAS WRONG DO YOU THINK GOD WILL NOT TRY TO STOP IT BECAUSE GOD WANT US TO KNOW HIM AND LISTEN, READ WHAT A BIBLE TELLS YOU, FOR EXAMPLE WATCH THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, ONLY WORSHIP ONE GOD, TREAT YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOUR SELF,HONOUR YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER AND OTHERS. LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION IF SOMEBODY KILL YOUR MOM ,WHAT WILL YOU DO, YOU WILL HATE AND WANT TO KILL THAT PERSON AND THE BIBLE STATE DO NOT KILL. WILL YOU SAY TE BIBLE GUIDE YOU WRONG. IN THE OLD TESTIMENT GOD SON DID NOT DIE FOR OUR SINS SO THEIR SON WENT WITH THEIR SISTER AND THATS HOW THEY MULTIPLY.

Answer 8

Calling the main character "Adam" already confuses things. "Adam" isn't a name in Hebrew, it is the word for human being.

I wonder how readers might perceive the story differently if the main character was called "Human" in English translations.

Answer 9

the bible was written probably in 1 year and the storys in it ranges to 1000000 years or so (i dont care)

tell me HOW COULD IT BE REAL!?!?!

if it was real that means the author was the first dude created and the last person to die in the bible and he was at all the main events.

DON'T FALL FOR CHRISTIANITY
THE BOOK IS JUST A FAIRYTALE

Answer 10

They didn't exist. They are false, just like every other creation myth. Despite what some people might say, there is no evidence that the Garden of Eden or two people named Adam or Eve existed.
