Which is exactly the type of thinking & insecurity that leads people who believe the Bible to be inerrant to think that woman being created from man's rib, the story of Adam & Eve, people living to be several hundred years old, etc should be taught in science classes.

According to the Gospels, JESUS believed that Adam and Eve were real, actual people who were created just the way they were portrayed in the Genesis account. Jesus believed that Jonah was in the big fish, etc etc etc. Jesus totally accepted the Old Testament accounts as being a literal intrepretation of the truthful, inerrant word of God. Was Jesus a liar? Was He stupid? Misinformed? Ignorant?

I see that you just proved my point in the top paragraph.

If you think Adam & Eve were the first humans & lived in some magical place called "the Garden of Eden" that's your business. I'd just appreciate it if people kept such mythology out of science class.
