You're thinking about it incorrectly, or more indelicately, backasswards.
Think of rain falling, filling a hole in the ground. The puddle forms to fit the shape of the hole in the ground. Isn't amazing the hole fits the shape of the puddle *exactly*! Well, not really.
In this example, the shape of the hole is akin to our environment -- the earth, sun, etc. Life (the puddle) forms to fit the environment. The environment exists first, lifeforms adapt to fit the environment.
It is as simple as that.
As for Adam and Eve existing 50,000 years ago -- none of that hogwash fits with reality. We know from genetic studies there were never less than a few thousand humans in existence. We also know the source man and source woman came from two different geographic regions (and probably different time periods) in Africa. The other lines died out.
There was no Adam. No Eve. No original sin. No need for Jesus. No need for Christianity.
Genetics is a bitch.
