Creation Myth Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve

Adam was the first creation of human by god. Adam was created from “dust of earth” to protect the gods garden of fruits. Adam was alone and needed a help-mate so god created eve. Upon not been able to take good care of the garden god cursed eve with excessive labor pain and expelled them from the garden called Eden. Adam and eve then went on to live their own live. Adam went on to live for 930 years. They had four kids together. Adam and eve together were epitome of love, purity and god’s existence. Even the holy book of Bible acknowledges there existence in the first four verses. All the holy books around the world acknowledge the presence of Adam and eve. Adam and eve are our real ancestors. They started the evolution of human race. From a religious point of view the also prove the point that god exist. Adam and eve depict god and its existence in our hearts. They gave a birth to a whole new breed of animals called humans.

However being in 20th century surrounded by technology and development all around it is very difficult to accept evolution of man in such a form. We all know and science has also proved that evolution of man began from apes and that is totally different from what is described in Bible. Today a certain section of society makes fun of people in love referring to them as Adam and eve. There is no scientific evidence behind their existence. They exist only in holy books. Today the technology has grown manifolds and it can even date back to the evolution of life on earth. Hence in modern age it is not possible to accept that our real ancestors are Adam and eve. Whether they existed or not is a matter of a very long debate; but for now love symbolizes Adam and Eve.

Having said that I don’t believe that such theory exists. Adam and eve exist only in holy books and there is no practical evidence of their existence. Also how can a person go on to live for 930 years!!! Also there is not a particular theory of Adam and eves existence because different holy books have different theories which make it even more confusing. In today’s modern world these stories don’t hold any place in our society and these stories are just to be left as myth. Hence it is best left to religious preachers and the atheists to decide the existence of Adam and eve.
