Hi imthatim............I don't class myself as a Christian but I believe a lot of he bible is true (and a lot has been removed).if you read the bible,there is a lot that couldn't be true, but it was written so long ago,people didn't understand as well as we do now,ie the parting of the sea.(It was probably tidal)etc.
I believe that it just gives us a rough outline as to what happened.I do believe in God and Jesus but I think that his life has been grossly over exaggerated.That is my belief,anyway.No doubt you'll disagree.

sky-unacceptable for an answer for me to look at surveys onine-you made the statement-however, while there may be some surveys-you cannot make the statement "most christians-or very few christians believe..."

and why cant you make that statement because I never received any type of survey asking me if I believed/not believe the stories.and

so I think I have made/proved my point that you cannot make that sort of statement and call it truth-despite that you have under your profile name as master-you are misleading people if they do not read very carefully your statements

What is this telling you? We know that Adam and Eve had two children after the fall and then Cain found a wife in a distant place but there's no information about more people other than the four so it's the general assumption that they had more children.What if they had more children and these children were born before the fall, how could Eve understand the increasing of the pain of birth if she never experienced it before?

no, they had more than two Children, the bible speaks of another Son, Seth. what many don't seem to understand is the fact they these people were more closer to perfection than we are today. Which means they were more healthier and lived a lot longer than we, who are living in the “Last Days” Adam 130 years old when he had Seth ,(Gen. 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth). Which in that time, it was like Adam was in his 20's.

By the time Adam was 800, he had MANY Sons and Daughters,(Gen.5:4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters). Someone seem to believe that the situation between Can and Abel happen when they were young men. Thanks to the MANY false artist conceptions. These brothers could have been older men, by the time this act of Cain took place. Cain could have murder his brother when he was 100, 200, 300 or even 400 years old, not in his 20's or 30's. Again, men in that time ,at an old age, (as we see it), had the stamina of a young man.

So there's a good chance that if Adam lived to be 930 years. and Seth lived to be 920 years old. it's most likely Cain also lived well over 100 years. the point I'm making is, since the first couple lived so long, and DID have more children. they also lived long to have many grandchildren ,great grand, etc. they moved throughout certain parts of the earth, forming different tribes. so in a sense Cain married a family member, (which was ok by God at that time). how else would the world populated? But there were NO other people on Earth before Adam and Eve, i hope this help! Peace

There was only one Adam but it is possible that he was created androgyne, both male and female. When God created Eve he removed the female part of Adam and formed it into a separate person.

There was a thread the other week that suggested the baculum bone was used, not the rib.

Your Adam is normally translated as Man. Check other translations and you will see the
King James Translation uses Adam but virtually no other translation does.

Hazada guess I have no reason to agree or disagree.

There is a whole bunch of literature that I just simply put on the shelf
and let it rest.When reading any peoples spiritual or religious documents
I try hard not to pass judgement on it, even if I think I understand it.
Or totally miss the teaching behind it.

Sometimes certain scriptures jump out and I pay attention to it.
I meditate on it and study it and if things ring true to my spirit
I attempt to learn from it. Sometimes I even learn more as time goes by.
Experience is my greatest teacher and sometimes that turns out to be wrong
so I just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
I try hard to stay teachable.

I do enjoy learning about others thoughts and opinions on spiritual matters.

Correct, the word Adam is used for the word humankind. Or in that verse, for Adam and eve.

Adam means: human being
from the root word aw-dam
to show blood (in the face)
