The Science tells us, that there is the chance, that Bible is true.
But let us assume, that Y-Chromosomal Adam lived 600 years before the Mitochondrial Eve was born (according to references in Wikipedia, there is a chance, that Y-Chromosomal Adam lived same time as Mitochondrial Eve). But the female ancestor of that Eve lived also 600 years before the Mitochondrial Eve: latter has grand-grand-grand-mother called also ``Eve''. Enough grand, that this grand-grand-grand-Eve lived the same time with Y-Chromosomal Adam. The future Eve was in the genus of those who lived with Adam. Therefore, one can say that Adam lived at the same time as Eve.
If Y-Chromosomal Adam lived many centuries before the Mitochondrial Eve, he
still knew the female Eve from whom the Mitochondrial Eve came. This female
Eve can be, then, called the common ancestor of the contemporary female
humankind. And the observation does not exclude Adam's and Eve's marriage. I
quote from Wikipedia 2018: "As of 2013, estimates for the age Y-MRCA are
subject to substantial uncertainty, with a wide range of times from 180,000 to
580,000 years ago (with an estimated age of between 120,000 and 156,000 years
ago, roughly consistent with the estimate for mt-MRCA)."
In genetic genealogy, the identical ancestors point (IAP) or all common
ancestors (ACA) point is the most recent point in a given population's past
where each individual then alive turned out to either be the ancestor of
every individual alive now or has no currently living descendants. Another
words: the ACA is the time when everyone around was either an ancestor
of everyone currently living or has no descendants at all. This point
lies further in the past than the population's most recent common ancestor
(MRCA). The identical ancestors point for Homo sapiens has been the subject
of debate. In 2004, Rohde, Olson and Chang showed through simulations that
the Identical Ancestors Point for all humans is surprisingly recent, on the order of 5,000 -- 10,000 years ago. Ralph and Coop, considering the European population and working from genetics, came to similar conclusions for the recent common ancestry of Europeans.

Ancestry across Europe", PLOS Biology, May 7, 2013; D.L.~Rohde, "On the
common ancestors of all living humans", Submitted to American Journal of
Physical Anthropology (2003).
Suppose the moment of History called ``ACA'' has happened at 5500 BC.~\cite{ACA}
Then at this year 5500 BC lived, suppose 20000 Adams, it means, that any single
human in our time (2018 AD) can trace own origin to one (or more) of the Adams
[for example, man Bob -- female Jane -- man Igor -- .... - man John - Adam number 1700]. But due to the direct male descendants line of Y-Chromosomal Adam (and line of females of Mitochondrial Eve) is present also at 5500 BC, then ACA point must be more ancient, than time when M-Eve and Y-Adam were born. It means, that mt-MRCA must be not 200 000 years old, but under 10 000 years old.
