“Since He was there, I have to say there was an Adam and Eve.”
I think Jesus was just sticking with the script there - reinforcing some story. Just like His disciples stuck with the script of making up the story of how He was resurrected. /s
Being resurrected is just as impossible as Creation is. So if I believe in the resurrection, it isn’t much of a stretch to believe in Creation. So while Genesis is obviously not the whole truth (it doesn’t describe the physics or chemistry of it all, etc.) - it is the story in terms of what people at the time could understand. And gets the message across that God is Creator, and that he wants a relationship with us.

The physics and chemistry were invented after the creation. There was no matter nor time before creation.
God didn’t use physics or chemistry, he invented time and matter.

It seems to me the converse is also true. By that I mean, if the creation seems too far-fetched for one to believe, how much faith can they really have in the resurrection?
