One thing that both Christians and Atheists on this board agree on, is that Adam & Eve never really existed as humans.
That would be simple enough except that Christians have suggested that they may have been:
(a) spiritual
(b) metaphorical
(c) symbolic
(d) analogical
(e) ‘possibly’ existed as humans
Jesus could help out here but he is keeping quiet. For my money I would avoid all box-ticking and go with, Adam & Eve never really existed as humans.
Reference: Anatomically modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago, reaching full behavioral modernity around 50,000 years ago.
Hope this helps.
