Certainly there are many people who with the teachings of evolution would like to call the story of Adam and Eve a myth but it is one of the most important parts of the Theology of The Gospel.

If not for the fall of Adam and Eve there would be no need of a Savior. With the Fall we all inherited death and need to be saved. With the Fall we are all separated from God and could not be reunited without the Saviors payment for the sins that separated us.

Satan would have you believe that indeed the story is a myth that way there would be no need of a Savior and you would become an unbeliever.

The story of Adam and Eve is so important that Matthew gives the genealogy of Joseph and of Mary back to Adam.

Believe, follow Him, obey Him and be saved.

I went to Marquette Univ. And I was taught in a theology class that Adam and Eve was a myth. A story, used to make a point. And not to be taken as true.

I take it as true. I have no reason to doubt it.

I’m with you. I wasn’t there; I don’t know exactly how God created Man, only that He did.

Without a Fall, there woud be no need of a Savior.

We need a Savior, and God provided one for those that would accept Him.

Everything else in theology is secondary.

Evolution also requires death before sin,
another doctrinal fail for those trying to make both “fit”.
