Adam and Eve are stand ins for early humans. This worked to fit a narrative God wanted to tell a primitive people. The literal truth would have been too confusing and probably beyond their comprehension.

Wait a minute . . . what was that you said earlier about G-d having "absolute power?" Where did it go?

If we advance to the story of Cain and Abel, Cain kills Abel. Cain then tells God that whoever finds Cain will kill Cain. But according to the Bible, we only have 3 humans alive at that moment. Adam, Eve, and Cain. Then immediately, Cain gets married to a woman not previously married. Where did she come from?

You're really a piece of work, aren't you?

I guess the "virgin birth" was just a "stand in" to fit a narrative for "primitive humans."

That post fits with my narrative of not reading the first 11 chapters of Genesis literally.
