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 Eva have children?

Yes she did , she ended up having 4 children 3 boys and 1 girl

Was Eve the mother of Adam?

In the book of Genesis, chapter 2, verses 20 - 25 we read the account of Eve being "made" from one of Adams ribs, vs. 21 - 22. Adam then, being first formed vs. 7, could not have been born of Eve.

If you insist that there must be a mother, then Adam was the mother of Eve.

Is Hera the mother of Pandora and Eve?

No, because in any holy book it says that Eve was created from the rib of Adam so she had no sister or mother. Adam and Eve had only children nothing else.

Why was life created?

There are many reasons why life exists on Earth...

REASON ONE: ATMOSPHERE

Earth has a breathable atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that is required for the life of most creatures. This is present in Earth's atmosphere, along with nitrogen, and in water, along with hydrogen. Oxygen is constantly put into the atmosphere by plants and trees. Fortunately, Earth's atmosphere does not contain much carbon dioxide, a poisonous gas which makes up most of the atmosphere of planets like Venus and Mars. In densely populated areas, carbon dioxide is more present. This is because cars and factories produce it. This causes the air to be polluted. The Earth's atmosphere is kept on the planet by its pull of gravity. Mars and Mercury are too small to keep atmosphere. As a result, Mercury has no atmosphere, and Mars' atmosphere is very thin, containing gases which have not managed to escape into space yet. Earth's atmosphere is thick enough to prevent poisonous rays of radiation from getting through it (this is what has happened on Mars).

REASON TWO: CLIMATE

Earth has a suitable climate. This is caused by the moderate amount of carbon dioxide in the planet's atmosphere, which is constantly refreshed whenever there is a volcanic eruption. The temperature on Earth does not go from one extreme to the other either. Mercury can be anything from 200°c below freezing to 375°c above. At 375°c, water would only exist as a gas, and the planet would be completely dry. Venus has a surface temperature of 480°c, which would be much too hot for anybody to live in. Mars, although it can reach 25°c, can be as cold as -140°c, a temperature which would freeze blood and water. The other planets are colder still.

REASON THREE: WATER

Earth has water! Water is believed to be the most important chemical necessary for life. It contains the oxygen needed for life. Other liquids contain poisonous elements. Water doesn't burn skin (like liquids containing acids do), it is drinkable, and it allows life providing molecules to move around easily. Other moons in the Solar System, such as Europa, a moon of Jupiter, are believed to have oceans of water under its icy surface. Scientists believe that, if they could find traces of water on Mars, the possibility of life existing on that planet would be greatly increased. Water on Earth can be found anywhere, in its three states. It can be frozen, taking the form of ice. It can be liquid, seen in seas and oceans and lakes. It can also be a gas, seen as clouds. In the picture below, we can see water in its three states; a solid, a liquid and a gas. The blue glow at the top of the Earth is the planet's thin atmosphere.

REASON FOUR: LIGHT

All planets receive light from the Sun, but no planet uses it as usefully as Earth. Trees and plants on the planet produce oxygen through a process called photosynthesis. Plants need the Sun to grow. Look at plants in windows and notice how they usually seem to grow towards the Sun. Try growing a plant in a dark room and in a light room. Notice which one grows quicker. The one which has grown quickest is the one which also produces more oxygen. It is believed that if we were able to get plants to grow on another planet, such as Mars, they would begin putting oxygen into the planet's atmosphere and increase the possibility of life. Saturn's moon, Titan, has an atmosphere containing mainly nitrogen. If this moon was to possess oxygen too in its atmosphere, by a plant photosynthesising on it, it could have a similar atmosphere to Earth. Something else which helps the plants to photosynthesise on Earth is the length of time the planet takes to spin once on its axis. Taking just under 24 hours means that each side of the planet receives sunlight regularly. If we look at a planet like Venus, which takes 243 days to spin on its axis, it means that for a large period of time certain parts of the planet are in complete darkness. So even if the planet could support life, it would struggle to do so.

REASON FIVE: THE SUN

All of the reasons given above for life existing on Earth are only possible because of one main reason. The Sun! Put simply, if there was no Sun, there would be no life on Earth. Technically, Earth probably wouldn't exist either! Because of Earth's ideal distance from the Sun, it receives the perfect amount of heat and light to allow life to be created and to support it. Imagine what would happen if the Sun suddenly vanished. How would you keep warm? How would you see? How would you get food and drink? How would plants and trees grow? How would they photosynthesise? Where would Earth go? The Sun's gravity keeps Earth in its orbit, but if the Sun vanished, Earth would simply float away.

When did Adam and Eve live?

Answer A

According to Biblical history, they lived around 4th Millennium B.C.

Adam and Eve lived shortly after God's creation of the universe. Adam was created on the sixth day. God created the first man from the ground and breathed life into Adam's nostrils. Eve was created after Adam had been in the Garden of Eden on his own, tilling and caring for the plants.

The Bible included no method for coming up with a precise date/month/year to the events in the book of Genesis. However archeological scientific research has provided appproximate dates of various biblical characters & events which can be used to approximate a date of life. Some Biblical scholars believe that the date of the fall of Adam and Eve was around 4000 BC: so that would make it about 6000 years ago if their judgments are correct.

Answer B

The Stone Age has been dated from about 8000 B.C.E. until around 3000 B.C.E. It was preceded by the Ice Age, and followed by the Bronze Age.

It is possible that Adam & Eve lived in the early stages of the Bronze Age, as late as 2750BC approximately, if they were in fact real people at all.

It is now commonly believed that King David (father of King Solomon) lived about 1000B.C. & Moses about 1445B.C. Using the above dates gives an average age of about 55 years for each of the 8 generations given in the bible, from David to Moses time, over a span of 445years approximately.

e.g. David, Jesse, Obed, Baaz, Salmon - is thought to be around Samson & Delillah's time, Nashon, Amminadab, Amram, Hezron, Perez, Judah.

Amram appears in Exodus 6 : 18 as the son of Kohath, & slightly further on as the father of Moses.

The same approximate timespan applys again for the 8 generations from Moses -1445B.C. back to Abraham -1875B.C. an average of 53 years for each generation spanning 430 years.

Moses, Amram, Kohath, Levi, Jacob, Isaac, Ishmael, Abraham.

If we use the previous averages of 8 - 11 generations spanning approximately 430-445years), we can estimate the date of Noah of the Noahs Ark flood story to around 2305B.C.-2320B.C.

The results of sediment tests around the coast of the Black Sea area have also suggested The great flood to have taken place around 2345B.C.

Abraham, Terah, Nahor, Serug, Re'u, Peleg, Eber, Shelah, Arpachad & Shem, Ham & Japheth - the three sons of Noah.

Genesis 10:25 To Eber were born two sons : the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided.

This section of the list of generations is unique in that it is the only generation (apart from Noah & the flood story) that has added information of an event.

Though not specific this is probably in reference to the religious turmoil caused by the changing of the astronomical ages from the Age of Taurus - the Bull to the new Age of Aries-the ram which would have taken place around 2166 B.C. with the change of the ages.

This would have caused widespread religious turmoil as it called for the abandonment of the old deity (the Bull) of Taurus & the worship of the new deity (the Ram) of Aries.

The oldest astronomical texts also date to about the same time.

Finally if we use the given averages we can again estimate an approximate date from Noah back to Adam & Eve.

The generations before Noah were Lamech, Methuselah, Enoch, Jared, Mahalalel, Kenan, Enosh, Seth & Adam & Eve.

The approximate date of Adam & Eve being around 2735B.C.-2765B.C. Or between 2800B.C.-2700B.C.

This is, of course, only one world view, not all believe in it. It does not conform to what is known/believed today about the age of the earth for instance.

Answer C The above analysis contradicts with the recorded Ancient Egyptian History that dates the Ancient Egyptian civilization to 7000 BC. For example it is recorded that in year 3411 BC is the date for Ancient Egypt as unified country (both upper and lower Egypt as one unity). Refer to attached link below. Sure there life long time before even the Ancient Egyptian Civilzation.

Regarding start of life on earth, I write here the following quotes that suggest that earth is dated as billions of years ago (see the link below):

"This suggests that by 3.5 billion years ago Earth was already teeming with diverse microbial life," Dr Neilan said.

"If this is so, evolution must have already been going on for a long time. We can't be sure, but certainly [it must have been evolving] many tens of millions of years earlier."

This suggests that if Adam and Eve life on earth started shortly after universe (or earth) creation), then it must started some billions of year ago and not only few thousands of years as claimed above.

Answer D Adam and Eve were created 4000BCki

Where does the earth came from?

There are multiple answers given to this question. In the United States, there are two common answers. The first is God created the Earth, along with everything else, which is based on the Genesis story from the Bible. The second is that the Earth was created when debris from exploding stars coalesced into an orbit around another star (Sol, the sun in the center our solar system) then eventually was pulled into a condensed sphere due to the effects of gravity; this is the explanation given from scientific inquiry.

Who was the first man to come up with a theory that the earth is a sphere?

Man believed Earth to be flat and the stars to be a covering or blanket for Earth.

An eclipse was considered to be an omen of either a wonderful event or a terrible disaster.

Greek philosopher Pythagoras is accredited as being the first to describe Earth as a sphere during the fifth century BC.

Why are societies patriarchal?

Societies are patriarchal because the earliest humans lived like animals...the bigger ones dominated the smaller ones and pushed them around. Later, as humanity evolved into thinkers, males, wishing to retain power over females (even though they no longer lived in caves and were more dependent on their intelligence, in which women often surpassed them), thought up the theory that God meant for them to rule over women and invented all sorts of "reasons" for women to be submissive. Since men still resorted to beating women into submission, it was not surprising that women pretended to be weak and stupid to survive. Then men said, "See? They're weak and stupid. They need us to tell them what to do" (similar to what white slaveowners used to say about blacks) and they used that as an excuse to deny them education, equal employment opportunities, and the vote. Right after World War 2, women who had worked successfully at all kinds of jobs and were praised for it, were suddenly told that they would never be as good as a man and fired. Women who wanted to keep working were treated as though there was something psychologically wrong with them.

Also, in general, women are just not as obsessed with control as men are. Patriarchal societies are a direct result of male need for control, which is stronger in them than even the desire for sex, and female exhaustion from trying to reason with them.

When did people begin on earth?

People first came on this earth after God created the earth. God first created Adam and from one of Adam's rib bones, God made a woman, Eve. Adam called her a "woman" because she came from man. And just a reminder, people did NOT originate from animals. In Genesis 1:20-25 it states when animals were made and then in Genesis 1:26, it tells how man was made in his own image.

Answer:

A lot depends on your definition of "people".

Most scientists start the process with th earliest hominids, such as the Australopithecines, about 2.3 to 2.4 million years ago in Africa. Human evolution branched off from a common ancestor with chimpanzees about 5--7 million years ago. From that split there were several species (Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis) but they are now extinct, we are the only survivors. Archaic Homo sapiens evolved between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago and spread out of Africa eventually populating the world.

How many years was the earth here before god created Adam?

The rational evidence (the fossil record) is that man evolved from ape like ancestors and was not created as told in the bible stories. If you choose to believe in the story of Genesis, then you do not need to ask a question here. However, if you accept the provable evidence "Homo Sapiens", ie anatomically modern humans, first appear in the fossil record in Africa about 195,000 years ago.

When did the first people come to California?

The Spanish conquistidors were the first people to reach California. They reached the state in the 16th century.

Is there scientific evidence that Adam and Eve were the first humans?

There is no scientific evidence to support the story of Adam and Eve as being the first humans. The theory of evolution, supported by vast evidence from multiple scientific disciplines, indicates that humans evolved over millions of years from ape-like ancestors. The story of Adam and Eve is generally regarded as a religious myth rather than a historical account.

What is the name of the worlds first human being?

According to Christianity, Adam and Eve were the first human beings on earth.

But it is all a matter of opinion, considering evolution.

How long has the earth been living?

The oldest known life on earth is approximatey 3.5 billion years old. It is likely that if any existed before this, any trace has long since been destroyed; even now, it is difficult to research and study rocks from the period, let alone fossils or remains.

What was the name of the brother who killed his brother?

Cain from biblical times was the first person to kill his own brother Abel. The fratricide was committed because Cain was jealous of his brother. He even said, "Am I my brother's keeper?" when the Lord asked him where Abel was.

You can read about this in Genesis Chapter 4.

How many people have been born since Adam?

106.5 billion. And 5.8% of them are alive today.

That's the short answer. The long answer can be found at:

http://www.prb.org/articles/2002/howmanypeoplehaveeverlivedonearth.aspx.

Medium answer: we can't know for sure how many people lived before we settled down and started using agriculture, but at that time (around 10,000 years ago) there were 5 million of us. In 1 AD there were 300 million, and in 1850 there were 1.2 billion. There are now 6 billion.

If you assume that the rate of population growth over the last ten thousand years has held steady, then you can estimate how many people lived in the generations between now and our earliest ancestors in 50,000 BC.

Who were the first people on earth after the dinosaurs died?

i think that humans were on earth after the dinosaurs (adam and eve).

Humanoids began to show up on earth about 55-million years after the dinosaurs died out, and the sapiens species wasn't around until the last couple of hundred thousands of years.

If you choose to accept the Adam and Eve myth, fair enough, but no one has ever found their fossils

According to Lanier what motive did Eve have for tasting the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge?

Eve was tempted by the serpent. Many would say that she is blameless, that the devil made her do it. The problem is that no one can be made to do anything. Genesis 3:6 pretty clearly identifies Eve's motives: "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it." Just so it's clear: Good for food, Pleasing to the eye,Desirable for gaining wisdom.
