A:Until only a few decades ago, the Catholic Church held unequivocally that Adam and Eve were the first humans. The sin of eating the forbidden fruit represents the original sin, requiring all Adam and Eve's descendants to undergo baptism for its removal.

As the Church began to accept the truth of evolution, so its understanding of Adam and Eve has changed and will continue to change. Cardianl George Pell, in a televised debate, said that the story of Adam and Eve is a myth - a religious story told for religious purposes.

What role did religion play in the scientific revolution?

religion had a roll in revolution by Adam & Eve. If Adam And Eve didnt eat the fruit that god said not to, we wouldn't be alive today. one of the punishments were to make Women have birth so that's how we are alive today. God gave us this thing called "Free Will", our choice to do what we want when we want. the reason why all women now have child birth is beceause Eve isn't her name, in Hebrew "Adam and Eve" means Man and Women, so they represent all the human race. :)

Why is Adam and Eve's faith considered a cult?

The idea of a "cult" is a modern one and since Adam and Eve were the first humans they actually had no religion to speak of. They spoke directly to God and followed his directions ( to a point). Man creates religion to understand the world around him.
