In Genesis, we’re told that God created a single man, Adam, and later a single woman, Eve. Furthermore, the Bible teaches that we all descend from them. Therefore, are we not all from the same family? If so, why are there so many Evangelicals so intent on harming their relatives?
Adam said that Eve would be the mother of all the living. The couple had two sons, Cain and Able. Then Cain slew Able and went into the land of Nod and took a wife. Where did the wife come from?
Do people really know what they claim to believe in?
Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) interpreted Adam’s story as an allegory rather than as an actual historical event. According to Spinoza, Adam’s name comes from the Hebrew word “adamn” meaning “earth” or “soil”. For Spinoza, since God made man from the Earth’s soil, “Adam” is not the name of a person but a word meaning “man” or “humanity”.
Adam defends himself by blaming Eve. The scene is illustrated on this mosaic from the Monreale Cathedral on Sicily.Photo: Richard Stracke.

So many questions, so many questionable answers!
And so much equilibrium needed, too.
