Christians. Could you be wrong?

But Adam and Eve were not a bottleneck-- they were the first two. There had to be a first homo sapien male and a first homo sapien female: i.e. the most distant ancestor capable of mating with humans today.

No, actually. You don't understand just how small these gradations are, is the problem. It's not like a set of stairs, where each generation is one step up from its parents, separate and distinct. It's more like a spectrum:



Can you point to the place where blue becomes green, there? Of course not, since the difference is minute and seamless... just like with human evolution.

The point is, humans are perfectly capable of emerging out of one gene pool. Adam and Eve are not impossible.

Yeah, because we're liable to take your baseless assertion seriously, after you just demonstrated how little you understand a cornerstone of basic biology.

The only ammo an evolutionist has regarding this topic is dating-- but we know that genes are dated circularly off the assumption that evolution is true, so they cannot qualify as proof.

Again, you don't know what you're talking about: since we can literally observe that evolution is true, live in front of our eyes, then any dating that does proceed based on those observations is not an assumption, and to presume that evolution isn't a real phenomenon at this point would make our data hilariously incorrect.

And the claim that Adam and Eve would have lived thousands of years apart misses the point.

They lived thousands of years apart, and also were not the only examples of the species present at the time, if you really want to persist with this argument. In essence, mitochondrial Eve could not have been the biblical Eve, as she wasn't a lone woman.
