For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.They (the so called scientists) don't know who Adam was. All they can say is that the most recent common ancestral father to all of us lived some time in the past.If us men traced our Y chromosome back far enough we would all meet at that point. Around 60 000 years ago for adam and 140 000 years ago for Eve. Er, not very specific is it? And, how did they manage to mate living so many generations apart? I smell something fishy.
The bible, however, can tell you exactly what adam was doing right down to fine details: like naming sheep and cattle and complaining his side was sore. Well, they obviously know much more about it so case closed.

hannahjo - monkeys don't come into this. We were made in God's image, monkeys weren't. Even suggesting that Adam was a monkey is blasphemous, I'm afraid.
jimmer - There is no problem at all with Eve being 80,000 years older than Adam if you think logically about it. Women have always lived longer than men, so she just hung around for a while waiting for the right man to come along. That Eve was made from Adam's rib is also perfectly true, even though she was born 80,000 years before him. I mean, this is God we're talking about!!! And before you say it - no, a time machine wasn't involved. It was a simple space/time anomaly situation, quite in tune with the normal laws of physics that these heathen scientists are always harping on about.
Aa01 - 'What explains the dinosaurs? They aren't mentioned in the Bible.' Of course they were, you big dafty. They were all a lot smaller and called 'chicken'.
Sophie_1003 - Adam and Eve's kids weren't commiting a sin, as incest isn't mentioned in the ten commandments so that's alright then. Who Cain and Abel married isn't recorded, but you can be sure she was lovely.
