How does the story of Adam and Eve compatible with science?

[Pete in Panama]

You asked a question regarding the Garden of Eden. There were only TWO humans in the Garden.

You're not saying but it kind of looks like you're referring to

... If there were a literal "Garden of Eden", what language was everyone speaking? Like, if they were Turkish they would have called it Cennet bahçesi and if they were Russian it would have been Эдемский сад. It's gets silly unless we stop & think about where the story's coming from & how it can be useful to us.

--and that was a rhetorical question that I answered while explaining that a literal reading was silly and we need to focus on "where the story's coming from and how it can be useful to us."

Let's say that was the question you meant and we' now are in agreement.

Cheers.

Science is recent human construct and is not for an ordinary human being; the story of Adam and Eve is to summarize the events of creation and its purpose for understanding of everybody; science provides no purpose for it, as it is beyond its limits, please, right?
Right?

The Bible contains many genres of literature: legal writing, proverbs, songs, history, legends, and myths.

Myth does not always mean "lie." It also refers to a creative story with fantastic beings that often explains something. Myth is an excellent way to teach ethics and values so deep in the culture that they are not even consciously realized.

The story of Adam and Eve is a creation myth. It is not meant to be taken literally. It has a great deal to say about the nature of mankind. It's a really awesome story.

Science and myth don't really overlap. It is not difficult to understand that Science gives us facts about the natural world (not ethics, not meaning, not the supernatural world) and that just isn't what myth does. I can embrace the Big Bang and evolution, and still have great appreciation for the story of Adam and Eve.

Try watching the scientific Adam. It was an interesting documentary.

It’s not.

On what basis?

I presented quite a bit of evidence supporting the Flood as a genuine historical account.

Such as the well-preserved remains of megafauna discovered within the Permafrost (not on top), some of which are found deep within it.
(Your answer was, the animals ‘got too close to a glacier & got stuck.’ Lol)

Or the pristine and well-defined features of many high-altitude ranges… while their rock content is old, their appearance exhibits crisp, distinct features; they haven’t endured “millions of years” of erosion and weathering! Lol.

Or the Grand Canyon’s 1000-cu.-mi volume of missing debris: the Flood waters cut through those layers and gave us the Grand Canyon. Why has some of that debris been found over a thousand miles away?
The Colorado river didn’t cause that.
You’ve provided no viable answer.

The global similarities found in hundreds of diverse cultural legends the world over, all telling of the same event. Embellished, but still the same event.

And on & on….


And keep in mind: the Genesis account itself tells us it was a Divinely-controlled event.

@IndigoChild5559 ,
I have a question for you. You believe in God, right? Yet you display such an adherence to science & what you think science has discovered.
What exactly do you think God has done?
Because somewhere along the line, what you believe God has done, your view will conflict with science, since science strictly adheres to natural methodologies, claiming a god is not needed for anything we see.

There's things that one can choose to
interpret as flood- evidence.
None hold up to close examination.

Which probably explains why you vanish
for weeks at a time when your interpretive
errors are pointed out.

I believe Adam and Eve is not about creation but is about developing a people for god.

Science is recent human construct and is not for an ordinary human being; the story of Adam and Eve is to summarize the events of creation and its purpose for understanding of everybody, literate or illiterate ; science provides no purpose for it, as it is beyond its limits, please, right?
The Truthful Religion provides purpose of creation also, reasonable and understandable and for everybody.

Right?

Science is recent human construct and is not for an ordinary human being;

I'm not sure why you think science being recent means it is not for the ordinary human being. Cell phones are recent, but ordinary human beings use them all the time.
