Jews, Muslims, and Christians all accept the story of Adam and Eve as fact.
The Torah, the Old Testament book of Genesis, and the Qur'an all tell their story in very similar ways.

No biggie. Simple mistake, and no one should be upset about that.
The Quran (also spelled Koran) also speaks about Adam and Eve. The main difference however, is that blame is given above the other to neither Adam nor Eve, but both are equally responsible for their mistake. Also, there's no concept of Original Sin in Islam. Each person is only responsible for his/her own sins, and children are born pure and free of sin. The Quran also does not blame birthing pains on Eve, but rather it's a natural occurrence from squeezing something the size of a watermelon from an opening the size of a lemon, to put it bluntly, lol!

Adam and Eve is talked about in the Qur'an, Torah, and Old Testament. Eve is not mentioned by name in the Qur'an, but referred to as Adam's spouse, but her name is given in Islamic tradition as Hawa (as in Hebrew).

Wow - they are in Genesis, first chapter in the Christian Bible. They were taken from the Jewish religious texts and I think the Muslims do have those chapters as well.

Don't worry, at least you are trying to learn..A mistake in R&S is not the unforgivable sin.
