Christianity Question

Do you believe in Adam and Eve?

I know it's kind of a debate between Christians if the stories in the Bible before Abraham were true or not. I personally do not believe in Adam and Eve and I just wanted to know what other Christians thought. (Please no offensive answers thanks :)

I believe in the mitochondrial Eve, and her male equivalent. (I've heard him called Y-Chromosomal Adam?). The fact that we can trace every girl's mitochondrial DNA back to a group of eight women is pretty impressive. Your mitochondria is identical to your mother's mitochondria, whether you are a boy or girl. You always inherit your mitochondria from whoever contributes the first X chromosome (aka your mom). And she got hers from her mom, and she got it from her mom... which makes it easy to trace, which is why science can do awesome stuff like that.

And I believe the Biblical Adam and Eve are a metaphor for the first tribe of Homo sapiens.

So yes... you could say I believe.

No. (For the record, I also don't believe in Ask and Embla, my religions equivalent to Adam and Eve.)

For me, the gene pool is far too diverse for the entirety of humanity to have come from only two people.

I believe God created the world but I don't think we will ever know how. The stories in the bible before Abraham are not fact they are legend and cannot be proven. That's what I believe
