Who was the Lost Tribe in the Bible and how did they become missing?
When Shalmenzer over-ran the Kingdom of Israel (about 721 B.C), he carried the Ten Tribes comprising that that kingdom captive into Assyria. From thence they were led into the land of the north and have been called the Lost Tribes because they are lost to the knowledge of other people.
We have no knowledge of the location or condition of that part of the Ten Tribes who went into the north country.
Eventually the lost tribes will come forth and will bring with them their own scriptures, for they to had their own prophets who kept them on the straight and narrow path during their wandering into the north countries. We will have the opportunity to read those very scriptures and they to will read ours. and they shall be made into one record.
It is very probable that the Lord ministered to them, for did he not say "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold, these to must I visit. (Paraphrased).
Steatopygia is believed to be an adaptive physiological feature for female humans living in hot environments, as it maximises the bodily surface area/volume ratio but keeps enough fat to produce hormones needed for menstruation. In the African savanna, where food shortages are common during the dry season, it allows people live on their stored fat. The people of the ancient Near East, where the Garden of Eden is usually pictured, never adapted their fat storage in this way.
It would be far more sensible to follow the early Church Father, Origen, who accepted that the story of Adam and Eve did not really represent human history (On First Principles, 3.1.1):
"Now what man of intelligence will believe that the first and the second and the third day, and the evening and the morning existed without the sun and moon and stars? And that the first day if we may so call it, was even without a heaven? And who is so silly as to believe that God, after the manner of a farmer, "planted a paradise eastward in Eden", and set in it a visible and palpable "tree of life", of such a sort that anyone who tasted its fruit with his bodily teeth would gain life: and again that one could partake of "good and evil" by masticating the fruit taken from the tree of that name? And when God is said to "walk in the paradise in the cool of the day" and Adam to hide himself behind a tree, I do not think anyone will doubt that these are figurative expressions which indicate certain mysteries through a semblance of history and not through actual events."
The Adams family had a farm in Bainbrige, Massachusetts just outside of Boston. It is still there to visit.
The first son is Adam because God created him. Even though he was a man, he was still God's son.
A DEVOTIONAL ANSWER FROM A BELIEVER WHO REPEATS WHAT HE HAS BEEN TOLD:
I assume you mean Genesis chapter 3 verse 3. This is where Eve is speaking to Satan and telling him what God said, although she changes a few important things. Either way, God's command was to Adam and Eve both making "you" plural. Also, many Bible scholars believe Adam was standing right there as she was being tempted by Satan. This makes him equally as guilty and even more so because he was not looking out for Eve as the man is supposed to do.
ANSWER FROM A HISTORICAL POINT OF VIEW:
Devotional & apologetically answers do not answer any questions! The answer only re-states what the author was & has been told! The text tells a story, which was acted out on a stage, in a setting much like Greek Tragedies, Christian Passion Plays, or American Indian ceremonial gatherings! Israelis, after all, were nomadic Semitic tribes just like the North American Indians. Read Genesis like a play and see how different it reads and sounds very differently. Devotional reading and interpretations are apologetic & designed to cover up the story's hypostasis. Believer are afraid to admit that the story does not make sense if taken to be a historical account.
The cosmic plan had to be carried out, Eve was only the median, this is my belief.Just as in our life we are unable control some aspects of the outcome and have to lets nature takes its course. LOTS of times result is in our favor.
How did justice affect Adam and Eve?
When Adam and Eve begged Allah karim's forgiveness, He forgave them. We must remember that Adam and eve were extremely innocent. They didn't know what sin was. They didn't have the slightest idea that anyone could tell a lie, and swear in the name of Almighty, and yet be a liar. They fell a prey to Satan's treachery and wickedness because of their innocence. Even an otherwise negligible forgetfulness on the part of a Prophet is sometimes not let slip away by Almighty God. This is how He trains a Prophet. Adam and Eve became more than ever conscious in their lives on the earth.

How did the world get populated?
The short answer: sex.
The long (but still short) answer: I'm assuming you're referring to humans. 3.5-3.8 billions years ago was the last universal common ancestor, the species that all current species came from. A few billion years of evolution later, Homo sapiens sapiens, anatomically modern humans appear. From about 40,000 years ago until about 10,000 years ago humans colonized the planet. After the agricultural revolution ~10,500 years ago, humans were able to live sedentary lives and this led to population increase. Over the past 200 years, scientific advances allowed for much greater survival, and the world population has increased from about 2 billion to nearly 7 billion.
Where in the Bible is the lineage of David found?

What ways did God make Adam responsible for the earth?
In the first creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a - the first sentence of verse 2:4), man (both male and female) was created to have dominion over every living creature (Genesis 1:28). However, in the second creation story (Genesis 2:4b-2:20), Adam was created to be the servant of the earth. Since Adam belongs in the second story, his responsibility is one of servant, not one of dominion.
Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) emphasises the independence of the two creation stories and says we must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first, and vice versa. Thus, in reading about the origin of Adam, we must not say or even think that man is to be the ruler over the animals.

What was Satan's main motive for tempting Adam and Eve to sin?
It was to call into question whether Jehovah God had the right to rule mankind or not. Satan wanted to rule and have glory from mankind's admiration, coveting Jehovah's position. (Isaiah 14:14) Satan was allowed time to show just what happens when mankind is ruled by themselves (Ecclesiastes 8:9), as well as being influenced by him. (1 John 5:19)
Jehovah has a plan to undue the ruin that disobedient mankind and the Devil have brought upon life. He will bring Armageddon, which will be the war when Jehovah (using an army led by Christ and his brothers) destroys all evil people. (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) After that, the Devil himself will also be destroyed (Revelation 20:10) and people will finally be able to live forever on Earth in peace. (Psalms 37:11 & 29)

What is Adam Gontier's daughter's name?

How long did Adam and Eve live in the garden of eden?
There is no scriptural refference to when Eve died, presumably because the men who comprised the scriptures did not feel that Eve's death was of note. The geneology of the early old testament is comprised mostly of Men, how many children they fathered (by name), and when the men died. It is a rare occasion that the wife is listed in the geneology. Typically when the woman is listed it is due to her significance in history, such as Eve's. It is presumed that Eve lived as long as Adam, who is biblically said to have lived 930 years after his creation.
According to Islam, Adam was a Muslim in the broader sense of submission (Islam: submission) to Allah.
According to Judaism and Christianity, Adam did not have a currently followed religion as none of the dogmas that define Judaism, Christianity or other known religions existed at the time when Adam lived. Adam had only to tend to the garden and to partake of every tree but two. That was the general extent of Adam's moral obligations.
Jewish answer:
According to Judaism, Adam served God without an exactly-defined religion. He praised God, delved into God's ways, kept laws of kindness, morality, teaching, etc. For example, we still possess Psalms that were, according to tradition, composed by Adam (Psalms 92 and 139).
