Really there is people who believes in Adam's and Eve's story?

Question

I think that is nonsense.
Do you really believe it? Why?

Answer 1

Well, actually, many people believe in Creationism. I do too, up to a certain extent but not in the sense it is explained. It all depends on how you see things, you have to read between lines to get the real meaning of the story, at least it sounds more sensible to me. Besides, primitive creatures would call God anything that created them and brought them here, wouldn't they?
I've just been reading some of the answers and I've got a few comment. God said/wrote this or that, the Bible is this or that, the Bible says so. How do you know it's true. has god talked to you recently, maybe you've got a direct connexion with him in the higher spheres of Heaven? Come on all of you ignorant people! How can you claim things you don't know for sure. How can you deny facts? BTW none of us was ever a monkey because none of us has lived that long, you thick heads. It is our human ancestors that were monkey-like.
Well, anyway, you've got the right to believe in whatever the heel you wan to,right? And that's a a right I would never dream of abolishing like I'm sure many of you would want to.

Answer 2

A lot of Christians do take the creation story literally. There are also some who understand it to be metaphorical (myself included).

People who take the second stance note that the literary genre of Genesis chapter 2 is "etiology" (a sub-class of mythology). While this means that the story can't be taken literally, it doesn't mean it can't be taken seriously. What I mean is that all mythology has a "moral to the story." While they may not be factually true, they can still convey an underlying "truth" (usually a moral principle). After all, myths are an attempt by a culture to understand their place in the world and thus establish how they should live their lives (ethical principles).

Answer 3

BTW, cool name (I *love* the Mabinogian)

Sure, why not? I have unresolved difficulties with the whole "rib" thing, but other than that, why not? Surely, you must believe that, at some point in human evolution, there was the first man and first woman? What about the story strikes you as being nonsense? A better question - what about the story defies science?

Answer 4

DNA evidence will one day prove what we Christians have known all along - we have a common mother and father.

1. I believe the Bible to be true and trustworthy for a variety of reasons too detailed to go into here.

2. I believe that the account of Creation is central to the Salvaiton of mankind from the Wrath of God.

3. Jesus Christ is called the Second Adam over and over. There is great significance to this title. It refers to the second time God created a human being that was not offensive to Him. (broken)

4. Evolution has utterly failed to give any solid evidence about the formation of complex organisms. All its evidence in regard to simple organisms cannot translate or be demonstrated in human beings for instance. As stated in the 2004 trial of Evolution vs Intelligent Design, "We hope that someday Evolution will provide us answers to these questions". This is an admission on public record by leading Evolutionists that by faith (faith is the evidence of the things not seen: hope) they believe (they show faith like we Creationists do) that their theory will prove itself to be correct.

5. There is no evidence to the contrary of the story of Adam & Eve.

6. All the writers of the Bible believed in the literal Creation as recorded in Genesis.

The writers of the Bible and the believers in God who have come after them have the best preserved ancient documents of any other sub-culture in the HISTORY OF OUR PLANET.

This does lend the documents (we call them scriptures) some sense of credibility. Their careful presentation, scholarly transmission and translation points to their value. This point alone is undeniable, and grants tremendous credibility to the writings.

From this point of credibility the power of the text only grows, until many who have been skeptics are the deepest of believers.

Answer 5

Yup - I believe that story.

John 17:17 - Thy word is truth...
II Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is given by inspiration of God... (inspiration translates to "God Breathed")

God Bless,

Answer 6

You surely believe the amazing facts of the physical world, so you should not find it hard to believe we started from one man and one woman. The rest about their decision to disobey their Creator, is that hard to believe, seeing we disobeyed our parents? So it must be the curse of sin onto the planet and their children that you can't believe. Then hold onto your hat because equally profound things are about to occur on our planet very soon. I hope you've gotten right with the Creator or will do so rightaway. You don't want to be on the coming receiving end of his judgement. He has so much good for those who love and cling to him!!!!

Answer 7

I think there are many, unfurtunately. They dont find any difference between metaphor and reality. The important matter is the blindness cause by fanatism.

Good Luck

Answer 8

Adàn es la parte masculina de nosotros,Eva es la parte femenina,es una paràbola y como tal hay q descifrarla.

Answer 9

I believe the whole Bible, so I believe what it says about Adam and Eve.

Answer 10

Of course. Adam lived for billions of years at perfect harmony with God in the garden. It was only after he sinned that he began to die causing him to count the years to his death.
What seems so impossible about that?
