For the people who say that its not possible that Adam and Eve existed. Did you ever consider it to be a metaphor? That Adam and Eve represented humankind, and what they did and what happened to them represent our nature?

My 6th grade religion teacher mentioned that once, that the story of Adam and Eve is just a story/metaphor and didn't literally happen. She didn't elaborate too much on it; she was scared she'd confuse the class. >_> @above: depends on what you believe in. o-o

This, then, is what he's saying: "My branch of Christianity is better than your branch of Christianity".

[quote] Cyrus0 : I believe he meant "where did original life come from?" [/quote] Erm... no, cyrus. She meant, "If Adam and Eve didn't exist, where did we come from?". We evolved from a common ancestor of the ape. What did the apes come from? Some other mammal. What did the other mammals come from? I have no idea. Question answered.
