There is nothing abstract about Adam and Eve. The Catholic Church recognizes Adam and Eve as historical figures and the first men, from whom we are all descended. Accordingly, "allegory" would be incorrect.

Have you even read Most's essay that you posted for me? To wit:

They do not ask what is the genre of Genesis 1-3. It is actually an ancient story, made up to serve as a vehicle for teaching some things that really happened...

Obviously Most thinks Genesis is an allegory...I think you are confused yourself.
