The Adam & Eve Story....
To rational thinking people its obviously a story,
But to those that take it seriously (A man made from dirt who birthed a rib woman in an enchanted garden who was beguiled by a talking snake)
Can you tell me...
What would have been the outcome if Eve ate a piece of forbidden fruit and Adam didn't ???

You expect to meet and be able to talk to the people that gave us cancer, tsunnamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, Hitler, Stalin, misscarriges, cot death, fleas, measles, covid, the black death, Life eating life, volcanoes, the flu, Peter Sutcliffe, solar flares, metiorites, pain in childbirth, weeds in the garden, snake bites, wars, poisen, parasites and the Tories?
I'm sorry. But partaking of a piece of fruit is no excuse to inflict the Tories as a punishment on all your descendents .
//Paul speaks of Adam as a real, historical person//
The ancients also speak of Horus been a real historical person.(Ancient Egyption mythology) Doesnt mean that he was. But there are many tropes common to both Horus (many years BC) and Christ.
Born of a virgin, 12 diciples etc.
All pre christian religions have a common theme.
"And what would have happened if he chose not to procreate with his *SINFUL *wife?"
Um, I kind of think the human race would have died out quite quickly.
Sure there are some valid questions to be asked about Adam and Eve if you first accept the premise they were real people.
The early chapters of Genesis are a puzzle but you can pick your way through it.
