Ok I am going to take the christian line on this and say how can you know that the Genesis accounts did not happen? You must understand that back then Oral Tradition was the medium of sharing knowledge. So if you are looking for a scientific answer then please present the test that we need to determine weather or not two humans named Adam and Eve existed.
Making the argument that the Bible provides circular reasoning is incorrect as the bible is just the compilation of different texts found at different times in history. Which were at there time independent of other texts. Its the equivalent of trying to say science cannot support science as its circular.
What evidence is there that there was dinosaurs on the earth or that they were wiped out by a meteor strike? All we have is conjecture and math based reasoning based on experiences thus far. Sure fossils are scattered around but this gives no more proof than the texts of the bible being scattered around. As ultimately we are relying on a computer to say it happened when we have no other way of knowing.
See understand to be True Atheist you need to have evidence of the non existence of a Deity which would mean you would have a credible reason for how we came about. Since the closest we have is the Big bang I would put it to you that in your head you 'Think there is no God' but you haven't any hard evidence to prove a deist does not exist. In much the same way is me saying how do you know we all are not a computer simulation?
