My main objection was that human eyes don't see photons of such low energy, since they are very long-wave. And I never got a convincing answer to why that's not a problem. What if Adam's eyes were detecting the slower, less-energetic cosmic rays?

What if Adam's eyes were detecting the slower, less-energetic cosmic rays? If you redshift the spectrum of light we're bathed in now by a factor of, say, 11 million, the solar peak our eyes are tuned to now disappears. There's not enough energy way up there for Adam to see anything with.

What if Adam's eyes were detecting the slower, less-energetic cosmic rays? Also, I think you mean "longer, less-energetic gamma rays." Cosmic rays are actually massive particles, not photons. All photons have the same speed, the energy difference being in the wavelengths.
