Adam and Eve

Both Christians and Muslims believe that God created Adam and Eve as the first humans on earth. Are we to accept this as LITERALLY meaning that God created ONLY one man and one woman or are we to believe that it is figurative in expression and God actually created many men and women (100s or 1000s or even millions)?

Since the sons of Adam and eve did go out from their family, it could be that there were other form of human beings at the same time.

But it is impossible today to give the correct answer, i think

What do you mean by "... there were other form of human beings at the same time"? Did God create them along with Adam and Eve? I don't think that is implied in the scriptures, correct me if I am wrong please.

I believe God created one man and one woman but they were not Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve were clones of an ancient race revived to be the People of God. And although God was responsible for this, he did not actually do the cloning the gods did.

I believe my DNA shows up with only 1% of the Adamic race. I am mostly Caucasian with a bit of Atlantean.

I believe the scripture does not tell the complete history of the people of earth. Adam and Eve go back to about 5,000 BC at the earliest but DNA shows Caucasians go back to 8,000 AD and by their own testimony were not native to earth but were aliens. The Atlanteans go back to at least 10,000 BC and I am not sure where I heard it but they are an alien race as well. The African races and Indian races are the oldest native races. Oriental races also come with a claim of being aliens. So that simply means they were created on a different planet.

I believe just one man and woman initially.
And interestingly I believe the formation of Adam's body happened through evolution with probably some adjustments at the end by God.

I think that you only need to look at the story of Cain. Firstly he fears attack, who from? Later he builds a city, who for? Clearly, the story implies that other people were around.

40,000 BC. No one knows where they came from or why they went extinct. I have a smidgeon of Neanderthal DNA. Scientists thought the DNA to be so different that there would be no coupling with homo-erectus but recent finds have proven them wrong.

There would probably be a link to all forms of humans 100.000 to a million years ago if science could measure it

The other sons and daughters of Adam and Eve no doubt.
In Genesis people lived for a long time and no doubt had multiple children who themselves had multiple children. There could have been many people around by the time Cain killed Abel.

Not all Christians take it literally. Many Christians acknowledge that Genesis 2-3 is a creation myth, and therefore not historical.

To know actual history, don't god to the Bible, but rather to science. According to science there never was a first man and first woman -- humanity evolved in groups. Homo Sapiens Sapiens has been around for approximately 200,000 years, and originated in Africa.
