It might be true... Of course, who knows? These days scientists spend a lot of effort trying to disprove the account of Genesis. Maybe the whole thing is a big fraud.

Yup. Scientists spend their time trying to disprove the tenets of Christianity. I'd love to see an example.

No they don't. They follow where the evidence leads. If that happens to disagree with the old story written down in Genesis -- or in the tales of the Norse gods, or native American origin stories, or Velikovski, Zeus, or whatever -- then that's just the way it goes. Old stories could have come from anywhere. The evidence comes from the actual history.

Did they teach you that in Bible school?

It does fit with the Biblical account. The "genetic Adam", the father of all male lines of descent still around, was Noah, since the only other males on the Ark were his sons. The "genetic Eve" was Eve herself, since Noah's sons brought their wives, and there were three of them.
