Should we add details from the “Genesis creation narrative” page?

Its first four paragraphs are generally pretty good. I think this page needs to incorporate specifically the explanation for them as demythologized Babylonian creation myths. IncandescentBliss (talk) 18:33, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 14 March 2024

In Luke 3 it shows the genealogy of Jesus right through to Adam. Your information needs to be corrected. There aren’t two separate accounts of creation either, they are the same. One provides an overview while the other is more detailed. It is quite possible too that the authors may have been different and provided those insights by God in different ways for the same message. So as a correction there is direct linage from Jesus back to Adam. Jesus is often referred to as the second Adam. The first bought death and the second bought life. 220.235.136.97 (talk) 19:35, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Jamedeus (talk) 19:38, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Did they exist or not?

This article should make it more clear wherever they were real or not, the article is currently extremely vague about this crucial part. 189.201.36.86 (talk) 16:09, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

The first sentence says "according to the creation myth..." A myth is something for which there is no concrete evidence. The simplest thing to say is that we have no evidence they existed. HiLo48 (talk) 03:59, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Theistic Evolution and Species Debate Edit Request

Some Christian believers in theistic evolution have argued that Adam and Eve may not have been H. sapiens. For example, philosopher and Christian apologist William Lane Craig has argued that Adam and Eve were Homo heidelbergensis. I think this article should add some information about this topic. TheYamsAreRipe (talk) 13:33, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Humans are great apes. Our ape ancestors were never less than one thousand individuals, at any given time. So, it is preposterous to speak of humans originating in one man and one woman, heidelbergensis or not. tgeorgescu (talk) 13:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Among believers in theistic evolution, many believe that the descendants of Adam and Eve interbred with hominids not descended from Adam and Eve.
In any case, this is an article about religious belief, and I'd argue that positions of religious scholars that gain enough prominence should be mentioned regardless of whether they are scientifically supported. TheYamsAreRipe (talk) 14:05, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
We do render church dogmas for what they are. What Craig says isn't dogma of any church. tgeorgescu (talk) 14:48, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
