I believe it is real .the word Adam means "red" or "of the earth".It is also generic term for man.It doesnot offend my reason to think there was only one couple that god made,and that from this couple came all the other people on earth. what do u think, is the story is real or just a fairy tale?

Well, a very complicated question indeed. For so many reasons, you will get different answers from different people. But for me, I believe that Adam and Eve were real. I believe that they are the first people God created and put in the garden of Eden. I have read in the Bible their story, and whether the Bible is real or not, it's another issue. Man has been long searching for answers to those questions. Some say, to see is to believe. But I say, I have faith. Faith, that's the only thing I have to say that Adam and Eve exists. :) Well, at least that's my opinion. Of course everyone else has their own perceptions and point of views.

to me it's a "fairy tale". the genesis book can't be a real story, since it says that Earth is 6000 years old... which it ISN'T! there has been a lot of talk on mylot about that. Well, I say that if we can prove scientifically that some fossils are a few million years old, if we can prove, based on the observations of the movements of the stars, that the universe is a few billions years old, then how could earth be 6000 years old? the genesis book in the Bible must be taken symbolically, not literally. But that's my humble point of view. If people want to believe... let them be! but without me...
