You seem to miss things you don't want to see. Adam and Eve were real people, and their disobedience (not necessarily eating a forbidden apple) was the occasion for the fall.
Barbarian observes:
YEC was invented by the Seventh-Day Adventists in the early 20th century, and their new revision of Genesis required some changes in traditional Christian belief.
Such as the Christian understanding that the days of Genesis could not be interpreted as literal 24-hour days.
Barbarian observes:
And just as Genesis has no position on evolution, so does science have no position on miracles. These are neither confirmed nor denied by the other.
Nope. Some people have revised scripture as a literal history. Others do not. But since evolution is directly observed to happen, there isn't much choice, really.
Nope. There's nothing in evolutionary theory that says a population can't descend from a single two individuals. In fact, we know humans have evolved since the first two. It's inescapable. Adam and Eve could have had at most, four alleles for each gene. (humans only have two copies of each gene). And yet today there are dozens or hundreds of alleles for most human genes. The rest evolved.
No way to dodge it.
I know. You're stumbling around in the dark, because you don't know a lot of things that impact on this issue.
It's no sin to be ignorant. All of us are ignorant in various ways. There's no one here who isn't your or my superior in some area of knowledge.
But it's curable. You could learn about it.
