Do I sin because of Adam?

[CapnAwesome]

I have a hard time joining these discussions because I have a hard time taking seriously anyone who believes in a literal Adam. That's one disadvantage that Atheists will always have against the religious, they start out pretty much knowing where we stand. On the contrary their beliefs are all the fuck over the place. Would the Theists in this thread be so kind as to indulge me whether or not they believe Adam in Genesis was a literal person?

I do, why not?

Do you honestly not know the arguments against a literal Adam? You've survived to adulthood, spent a significant amount of time of these forums and not been exposed to them? I can do nothing but repeat what you've doubtlessly heard dozens of times. If it hasn't sunk in by now I really don't think I can phrase it well enough to convince you.

You should at least do the favor of not pretending that there is no good reason is not believe in the literal Adam. Every area of science argues against it, from Geology to Biology to Anatomy. Fields of research all contest the creation story, and you believe there is no good reason to discount it.

Just be honest admit that the evidence is against it and you believe it regardless because of your faith.
