Adam and Eve
The account of Adam and Eve is one of the world's best known creation stories. It also serves as the basis for three major world religions: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Typical questions by contributors include the story's relationship to other religious writings, parallels with other creation stories, impacts on world art and literature, and collaboration by science.

Did Adam and Eve come before the cave man?
Perhaps it would be simplistic to point out that 'cavemen' fossils have been dated to hundreds of thousands of years old, while the story of Adam and Eve is supposed to have taken place around six thousand years ago. A better answer could be to separate science from religion - a scientist may say that Adam and Eve did not really exist, while the cave men really did; whereas some theologians may say that the world is only 6000 years old, and therefore Adam and Eve were the first cave dwellers (although this conflicts with the biblical story of their son, Cain, building a great city in the land of Nod). Other theologians accept that the story of Adam and Eve is not really history.
Theologists have long wondered where the Garden of Eden was, but usually assume that it was somewhere in the Middle East. However, we have ample evidence of human settlements long before 6,000 years ago, meaning that the biblical account of Adam and Eve and the genealogies of their descendants are not literally true. Moreover, we know from archaeology that humans have lived on earth for millions of years - long before the time attributed to Adam and Eve. So, Adam and Eve did not really exist. And, if they did not exist, neither did the Garden of Eden.
Answer
Genesis 2
"8And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. "
The present day location cannot be pinpointed due to the total upheaval of the landmass and points of reference during the Flood of Noah's day.

Gen 4:16-24 (KJV)
Why didn't Adam tell Eve NO to eating the fruit?
Because he was according to the bible (the first human). You can't expect him to be smart enough to plan ahead.
Above not my opinion .
I say Adam even he is the first human .His intelligent and knows all answers and consequences.Life in heaven is different with life on earth. His young and lack of experience .But he obeys God command .He refuse to ate the forbidden fruit but eve seduce him and coax him to ate the forbidden fruit. Eve actually tricked by eblis (azazel) which hide in the serpent mouth ( Serpent who guard the heaven gate before cursed by God for helping eblis trick Eve to ate those fruit). Serpent lost his leg and arm for his sins. "
Thats why serpent doesn't have arm and leg . They're enemy to human. hmm i read it somewhere on the net.
A:Satan, described in the form of a serpent (which is not a description of what he looks like, but what he is like ), deceived Eve into believing that if they (herself and Adam) ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, that they could be like God and know what He knows. Adam and Eve eating from the tree of knowledge resulted in shame, guilt, exclusion from the garden, and separation from the tree of life. They no longer had access to it. This tree will be accessible to those who belong to Christ at the end (Revelation 2:7; 22:2,14).
What punishment did God give to Adam and eve?
Perhaps we could change the word Punishments to the word Blessings. If they had not transgressed the law you would not have been able to ask the question, and I would not have been able to give an answer.
1. They would be cast out of the presence of God.
2. They would eventually die.
3. Their bodies would be separated from their spirits.
4. They would have to grow their own food.
5. They would have to face the trials and tribulations of the world.
6. They would always be tempted by Satan.
7. Eve would suffer the pains of childbirth.
8. The animals would fear man.
When one thinks about it we have to be grateful to our first parents.
What is the similarity between the story of Adam and Eve and the story of Prometheus?
The story of Pandora is similar to the story of Adam and Eve in the way that Pandora was the first woman to be created on Earth in Greek mythology, and Eve was the first woman on Earth in the Bible. Both women unleashed evil on to mankind. Pandora was created out of Zeus' anger towards man and Prometheus' stealing of the secret of fire (Zeus was not happy that Prometheus informed mankind of fire), so he gave Pandora a pithos (jar) as a wedding gift when he had her married to Prometheus' younger brother. She opened the jar when she got to her husband's home and it released evil spirits that would forever haunt mankind. Eve tempted Adam to eat the forbidden fruit, the original sin. However, it should be noted that Eve was a gift of companionship and Pandora was created to hurt mankind.
What authority Adam had before the fall?
adam had authority over everything on earth just as humans do today. he could name and identify new animals, plantlife, etc and was charged with their care (their survival depended on him) just as our earth's survival depends on us caring for it. he didn't lose any authority on earth just the connection with god and the promise of eternal life.
Who used the word apple for garden of eden?
Actually it was not a apple. If it was then all Christians would steer away from eating apples. No one really knows what the fruit was. Some think apples some grapes so oranges.
Eve Vorley was born on October 22, 1965, in London, England, UK.
What are the names of the angels guarding the trees in the garden of Eden?
Adam and Eve had eaten of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and were now like gods (Genesis 3:22: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us..."), except that they were still mortal. God told them what they now already knew: that Eve she must bear children in pain and that one day they will die. By eating of the Tree of Life, they would then also be immortal, so the only course left open to God was to banish Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and place cherubim and a flaming sword across the path back to the Tree of Life. This was not a punishment, but a necessary result of their having become god-like.
Strictly speaking, cherubim were not angels, in the post-Exilic sense. They were perceived as sphinx-like creatures with the bodies of lions, human heads and wings. The Bible never gives individual names to cherubim.

The great creative epochs described in Genesis were periods lasting thousands of years, during which, the Bible says, specific steps were taken in the divine preparation of the earth for man.
Just how long ago the starry heavens and the earth were created is not stated in the Bible. Scientists estimate the age of some rocks as being three and a half billion years, and the earth itself as being about four to four and a half billion or more years. As to time, the Scriptures are more definite about the six creative days of the Genesis account. These days have to do, not with the creation of earth's matter or material, but with the arranging and preparing of it for man's habitation.
The evidence is clear that belief in "ape-men" is unfounded. Instead, humans have all the earmarks of being created-separate and distinct from any animal. Humans reproduce only after their own kind. They do so today and have always done so in the past. Any apelike creatures that lived in the past were just that-apes, or monkeys-not humans. And fossils of ancient humans that differ slightly from humans of today simply demonstrate variety within the human family, just as today we have many varieties living side by side. There are seven-foot humans and there are pygmies, with varying sizes and shapes of skeletons. But all belong to the same human "kind," not animal "kind."
Some people are surprised to learn that Adam and Eve are mentioned repeatedly throughout the Bible. What light do these references shed on the historicity of the Genesis account?
Consider, for example, the Jewish ancestral lists recorded in the Bible book of First Chronicles chapters 1 to 9 and in the Gospel of Luke chapter 3. These remarkably detailed genealogical records span 48 and 75 generations respectively. Luke traces the genealogy of Jesus Christ, while Chronicles records the royal and priestly ancestral lines for the nation of Israel. Both lists include the names of such well-known figures as Solomon, David, Jacob, Isaac, Abraham, Noah, and finally Adam. All the names in the two lists represent real people, and Adam was the original real person on each list.
In addition, again and again the Bible presents Adam and Eve as real human beings, not as mythical characters. Here are some examples:
• "[God] made out of one man every nation of men." (ACTS 17:26)
• "Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus . . . death ruled as king from Adam down to Moses." (ROMANS 5:12, 14)
• "The first man Adam became a living soul." (1 CORINTHIANS 15:45)
• "Adam was formed first, then Eve." (1 TIMOTHY 2:13)
• "The seventh one in line from Adam, Enoch, prophesied also regarding [the wicked]."-JUDE 14.
More important, Jesus Christ, the most credible witness in the Bible, acknowledged the existence of Adam and Eve. When challenged on the subject of divorce, Jesus answered: "From the beginning of creation '[God] made them male and female. On this account a man will leave his father and mother, and the two will be one flesh' . . . Therefore what God yoked together let no man put apart." (Mark 10:6-9) Would Jesus use an allegory to establish a binding legal precedent? No! Jesus quoted Genesis as fact.
Summing up the Scriptural evidence, The New Bible Dictionary concludes: "The New Testament confirms the historicity of the account given in the early chapters of Genesis."
Which of Lamech's sons lived in a tent?
Lamech's son, Jabal, proved to be the founder of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.(Genesis 4:19-21)
What was the color of the ground that Adam was created from?
The name 'Adam' is taken from the Hebrew word "Adamah", meaning 'earth' or 'ground'. Some Hebrew scholars also feel that the word 'Adamah' has it's root meaning in another Hebrew word, 'adom', meaning 'red', suggesting that the earth from which Adam was taken may have been RED in color, perhaps from a high iron content. This question has been discussed at length by scholars, but in the final analysis no one knows what color the earth was, where man was created, and it probably had no real effect on Adam's color, either way, since ALL his parts (hair/teeth/eyes) were made of the same 'dust'. (Genesis 2:7)(Acts 17:26)(Acts 10:34+35)
What plan did god begin in the garden of Eden after Adam and Eve sinned?
A bit of background firstly as this leads up to God's Plans for mankind.
In Genesis 2:17 God spoke to Adam (not the woman) and said ".....of the tree of good and evil you will not eat of it, for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die...."
At some time Adam had told Eve of this command from God, not to touch or eat from this tree, however when the serpent told Eve she wouldn't die and deceived her with further lies, she succumbed as did Adam.
In Ch.3:4 the serpent said to Eve "You will not surely die".
So here we have two conflicting statements: God stating they will dieand satan stating they will not die.
As we all know Eve took the fruit and gave some to Adam and they ate of
this fruit. They had disobeyed God and rebelled against His authority and by doing so, sin came into the world. Not only sin but death to all people.
In Romans 6:23 it states "for the wages of sin isdeath......"
GOD IMMEDIATELY BRINGS HIS PLAN INTO PLACE. God spoke to the serpent and said ".....and I will put enmity (hostility) between you and the woman, and between your seed(unbelievers) and HER SEED...............".
The human race now needs someone to rescue it from sin and from death and certainly no human can do that. So God plans to send a Saviour and redeem us (buy us back/pay the price) to save us from our sin, give us eternal life and bring us back to God, and that person would come from "HER SEED". HER SEED, is MARY, who would give birth to the Saviour, Jesus. Notice it is "her" seed because no human male was involved. Jesus was God's Son.
So Jesus went to the cross and "paid the price". That price was taking our sins on His body and dying. If He had not died and risen, we would die and not rise again. Remember, "the wages of sin is death." Now to those of every generation who have asked Jesus to come into their life and repented of their sin, they are forgiven and will have life after death with Him in a glorious home called heaven.
So that was the PLAN God began in the garden when sin come into the world. It was about 4000 years later when Mary (her seed) gave birth to the Saviour, Jesus. It seems an awfully long time but God's timing is always "at the right time." or in the "fullness of time" as the Bible says.
Our Fathers plan for this 2nd of 3 earth iterations (2nd Peter ch3) did not change in the garden. The failure there was Adam and Eve were among the Tree of life (Christ) and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Satan) and did not pass the test. Adam and Eve both were seduced by the serpent (Satan Rev 12) and therefore rejected from the garden and the presence of Christ.
Our Father states in Genesis 6 it pained him to have created flesh mankind, however his plans did not change as this 2nd of 3 earth iterations finds its purpose in Revelation 12. There we find 1/3 of all our Fathers children were deceived by Satan, that old serpent, in the 1st iteration. This 2nd iteration is to allow souls a chance to redeem themselves. That plan has not changed since day one.
Was there life before Genesis chapter 1 verse 1?
No. Genesis 1:1 says, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." The Bible continues to say that the earth was empty and formless. If there was life before Genesis 1:1, both God and the Bible are liars, and we are all doomed.

What fruit is the forbidden fruit that Baba Adam ate according to Islam?
_______________________________
No mention in the holy book Quran about which fruit did Adam and Eve ate. It is mentioned only that they ate from a tree.
shia: some name mentioned in Ahadith like: Anbah (mango), Annab (jujube), Kafur (eucalyptus), hasad (jealous) and most famous one Apple and wheat. but according to some Ahadith, what Adam prohibited from was knowledge of Prophet Muhammad and his household. everything had been said is just symbolic while knowledge is food for soul. Adam tried to enter the realm of kingdom of Prophet Muhammad and his Household without permission, so he taste few but lost a lot. if not it is meaningless that Allah gives everything to him freely and prohibit one without any reason.
Why was Adam alone and he had God?
If your talking about Adam and Eve, God gave Adam (man) Eve (women) so that Adam wouldn't be alone. If he had only God then man kind wouldn't be alive today.
I'm sure Adam would appreciate living in a world where there was nobody to hold hands and smile with. Without women you wouldn't be alive.
One thought:
According to the Bible, Eve does NOT live....anywhere. She chose to disobey her creator's explicit command(Genesis 2:16+17/Genesis 3:2-6), and the result was, as promised, 'Death' (unconscious, non-existent - Ecclesiastes 9:5/Psalm 146:3+4). As God said: "for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."(KJV-Genesis 3:19).
Sinasabing sa simula ay wala pang daigdig at Tao; mayroon lamang langit at dagat. Magkasinlawak ang dalawa sapagkat sila'y magkatapat. Ang tanging nilalang na nakapagitan sa kanila ay isang ibon.
Walang tigil sa kalilipad ang ibon sa kalawakan hanggang mainip it at mapagod. Naroon nga ang langit sa itaas ngunit Hindi niya ito abot. Naroon nga ang dagat sa ibaba, ngunit Hindi naman siya makalapag.
Nag-isip ang ibon kung paano niya maaabot ang dalawa. Sumisid itong pabulusok at kumahig nang kumahig sa tubig. Nadama ng ibon na nagkaroon ng silbi ang kanyang ginawa. Mabilis at walang aptid ang kanyang pagkahig na ikinasaboy paitaas ang tubig.
Nagimbal ang langit. Natiyak na kapag Hindi tumigil sa pagkahig ang ibon ay baka umabot sa kanyang dibdib ang tubig-dagat. Naramdaman na rin niyang nag-alab ang dibdib ng dagat sapagkat ginalit nga ito ng ibon; dahil dito, nag-isip na siya ng paraan para mapahinto ito.
Naiisip ng langit na gumawa ng bato sa kanyang mga ulap at saka ibinagsak iyon sa dagat upang maampat ang galit niyo na nilikha ng ibon.
Sa mga batong ibinagsak niya sa dagat, inatasan lumapag ang ibon upang siyang gawing pugad, at saka sinabing huwag na silang gambalain pa ng dagat.
Lumapag anga ang ibon sa isang batong pulo ngunit my namataan naman siyang isang bagay na lulutang-lutang. Hindi niya iyon pinansin, ngunit nang siya ay masagi at masaktan ng putol na kawayang nakalutang, siya ay napoot at walang tigil na tinuka ang kawayang may dalawang biyas.
Nabiyak ang kawayan. Sa unang biyas ay lumitaw ang isang lalaki at isang babae naman sa ikalawa.
Sa dalawang ito nagsimula ang daigdig sapagkat sila ang naging unang Tao.
