Is There a Difference Between Trusting Scientists and Trusting Preachers?

We do have Y-chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve. They are not a couple though, and they didn't exist in each other's lifetime. They are our most recent ancestors, following back family lines along either the male or female side.

That is the nearest you are going to get. I'd advise thinking that "Adam and Eve" is a metaphor for those things. Of course it isn't, they had no idea about any of this. But it's an escape chute to try and reconcile this story with reality. If you start with the flawed conclusion that the bible must make sense, this is the kind of mental gymnastics you'll have to do.

If you think "There was a couple, Adam and Eve, the first humans", you're simply wrong.
