How do you know that Adam and Eve were the first people alive?

It is not possible to know that Adam and Eve were the first people alive. In fact, the distinguished biblical scholar, Raymond E. Brown, says that for parts of the story in Genesis 2:4b-3:24, Adam is not an individual male but a figure representative of humanity. In other words, the author of this story did not even intend it to be taken literally. The story of Adam has a number of strikingly similar predecessors in older civilisations in the Middle East. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the king was an oppressive ruler, so his constituents appealed to the gods, who create a nemesis, Enkidu. In some of the parallels with the later story in Genesis, Enkidu was created naked in the wilderness, and was tempted by a harlot, who educated him about sin and taught him to wear clothes.

How does Adam and Eve hear Gods voice?

(username: Octianaluz) I'm not sure, there could be a few ways that they could of heard Gods voice, one way could be through the natural way (our ears). Another way could be from their spirit (a feeling you get deep down inside that something is telling you to do or not to do something), and another way can be from an answered prayer that comes from something that they'er familiar with on getting answers by (example: if they prayed for fruit, God would bless them by having fresh fruit grow from the trees, if they prayed for it to rain, then it would start raining on a sunny day, or them praying for help to overcome a bad habit and God helping them by weakening their strong urge for something that's not good and them noticing it through time, etc.) These are just some examples as you already know, but however they was able to hear from God, is probably the same way we can hear him, whichever way that may be.

God spoke so they could hear Him.

Did you come from Adam and Eve or the apes?

We know that the story of Adam and Eve was only an allegory. We also know that our human ancestors lived on earth for millions of years before the time attributed in the Bible to Adam and Eve. That only leaves us to decide what our ancient ancestors were most like. Scientists say that we share a common ancestor with the chimpanzees, who lived about 7 million years ago.

Who was created first the man or the woman?

In the first creation story in Genesis (verses 1:1-2:4a), men and women were created together in the same final act of creation (Genesis 1:27). Note that the text does not tell us whether there was only one man and one woman, or a number of each.

The second creation story in Genesis (verses 2:4b-25) differs in some important ways from the first story. Man (Adam) was created as the first act of creation, then the animals and finally the woman (Eve). In this case, the man was most definitely created before the woman.

Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that pious readers, believing that the text cannot contain contradictions, ignore the major disjunctions between the two creation stories and tend to treat the second story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man and woman) that the first story simply reported, and therefore ignore the sequence of creation found in the first story.

What was placed east of the Garden of Eden to keep us away from the Tree of Life?

A:Genesis 3:24 (KJV): "So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."

In this story, cherubim were placed east of the garden, to block the way back to the Tree of Life. The translators of the King James version did not realise that 'cherubim' was already the Hebrew plural of 'cherub', so inadvertently made it a double plural.

Images of cherubs have been found thoughout much of the ancient Near East since the Bronze Age and were usually associated with carrying the enthroned deity (see the cherubs in Exodus, mounted on the Ark of the Covenant, on either side of the mercy seat of God). The most magnificent powers in the creaturely world are combined in the cherubs, which are a composite of a lion (the body), a bird (eagle or vulture wings), and a human (the face). As those who carry the throne, these hybrid creatures reflect the nature of the figure who is enthroned above them.

So it may be guesstimated that Adam was the father of at least two daughters, and at least two sons other than his three eldest.

What problems did Eve cause for women when she ate the apple?

She gained knowledge, and knew the difference between good and evil. She wanted her husband to have the knowledge as well, so she offered fruit from the tree to him as well.

Some people think that this was a total loss for the entire human race and some people think it helped us overall to grow and learn.
