Adam was formed from clay.

God breathed life into Adam.

His wife Eve God formed from one of Adam’s ribs.

How does any of this square with your theory of Adam coming from lower order primates?

"Adam was formed from clay.
God breathed life into Adam."

The Bible and science 100% agree that God started with mud and ended by breathing His spirit into man.
The Bible doesn't tell us what all steps God took between start and finish.
Science figures there were quite a few steps, beginning with: how do you create mud?

Humans—or prehumans if you prefer—were like clay before Adam and Eve, compared to what we are now. They had no knowledge of good and evil. God gave them the choice, and of course they made the wrong choice, and the rest is history.

A clearer explanation of our social history could not have been written, even if some would prefer to call it “metaphorical.”

The scary thing is that God knew they would make that choice. It is how he formed us, to make choices, and to someday regret them and evolve even further.

And he had to wait for the Greeks and their ships, for that stage of civilization, to send his Messiah.

By the way, every time someone tells me they have a back problem, I am tempted to say “See? We were never meant to walk upright.” Of course I think we were meant to walk upright. If they laugh I am tempted to remind them of how everyone rushes for the seats on the subway. But they don’t rush rudely!
