might be interesting to a few people.

"Geneticists have established that every woman in the world shares a single female ancestor who lived a hundred and fifty thousand years ago. Scientists do actually call her "Eve". And every man shares a single male ancestor dubbed "Adam". It's also been established, however, that Adam was born eighty thousand years after Eve . . . so the world before him was one of heavy- to industrial-strength lesbianism, one assumes."

"What is the connection between the Archbishop of Canterbury's left ear and Adam's bellybutton"

they're both purely decorative. Adam, of course, cannot have had a navel, because he was created--he wasn't born--so there wouldn't have been an umbilical cord. The archbishop didn't have hearing in the left ear so it is purely decorative.

I don't think so. I think that the world began with Adam & then Eve. & from there, the population grew bigger & bigger, because in those days, they had a lot of kids.

I think we evolved?

I agree

That's kind of common sense really though, unless apes evolved at the same rate under the same conditions.

[Lubricant]

Adam and Eve is complete rubbish.

[Awfy]

Adam and Eve is complete rubbish.
Agreed...

It's been proven we evolved from Apes. God isn't real, how do I know? Well in the bible it says he creates then world then puts life on it. However, it has also been proven dinosaurs were around WAY before us. So where are they mentioned in the bible? No where, yet it claims Adam and Eve were at the beginning of the world.

In my eyes the Bible is at most a fictional book wrote for kids at the time. The stories are basically an older version of Harry Potter. My Granda who has been a christian believes with my theory in a way. He says the bible isn't truth, it just a guide of how people should live their lives.

I don't think this was really supposed to be that much of a religious discussion... Or am I wrong?
My Science teacher in year 8 asked the class a similar question (to the one in the first post) in Year 7 and left us all stumped until the lesson after x)

The statment is true, tho the other way around from being religious, we named the genetic ansestors adam and eve becuse they are well known names from the bible, fictional or not. Not the bible having those names becuse it knew of genetic ansestors. Also the "adam" and eve suggested where likely not even evolved to a state we would concider human, after all every specises has to have a genetic root to mutate from, evolution doesnt work without somthing before it. Its a proccess by which life changes, nothing to do with how life comes around 2 start with :p
