The Adam & Eve Myth - Origins

[Fake Messiah]

Are there extant texts showing parallels between the Babylonian or Sumerian texts and those of Genesis, specifically the first man and woman? Citations needed.

Well yeah some things are obvious. I mean if you look the movie "Star Wars" and then you watch "Spaceballs", and you know that SW is an older movie, you would be very stupid to conclude that "Spaceballs" invented all that stuff like the Schwartz, Dark Helmet, Yogurt,  Lone Starr and Barf, Schwartz-rings fights, but rather it is obvious to anyone with half a brain that the makers of "Spaceballs" took (stole) stories, elements, scenes, characters from Star Wars; as they did from other movies like "Alien", "Planet of the Apes", "Wizard Of Oz" etc. And then again Star Wars stole from other movies and books which stole from other books etc.

But I get what you're asking, you are wondering if anyone already did the job connecting the dots. There is a book written back in the 19th century by T. W. Doane called "Bible myths and their parallels in other religions : being a comparison of the Old and New Testament myths and miracles with those of heathen nations of antiquity"

Here is what it says about 6 day creation

The Zend-Avesta—the sacred writings of the Parsees—states that the Supreme being Ahuramazdâ (Ormuzd), created the universe and man in six successive periods of time, in the following order: First, the Heavens; second, the Waters; third, the Earth; fourth, the Trees and Plants; fifth, Animals; and sixth, Man. After the Creator had finished his work, he rested.

After that he talks about the first couple.
