AnswerNot all Christians believe the story of Adam and Eve to be symbolic. Some Christians still believe that the story is literally true. However, the story conflicts so totally with scientific knowledge, and is so internally inconsistent, that many accept that it can not be literally true. The easiest alternative is to think of it as symbolic.AnswerThere are many different aspects to the Eve/Adam story. One reason that many Christians believe the story to be symbolic is because it raises serious questions about how they managed to reproduce and people the earth. There would have had to be incest involved. Another reason it's viewed as symbolic is that it condemns woman for seeking knowledge. Women seeking knowledge would have been unacceptable during the time period it was written therefore it would have been appropriately symbolic for that time and culture.
