before I answer this Q. I'd like to know your alternative to the Adam and Eve story?!
1- Each cell in your body carries the entire genetic code, but pre-programmed to produce only its specific protein or enzyme, or a particular end product etc.
for instance myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes although oligodendrocytes contain all the genetic material, your chondrocytes produce type II collagen although they contain all the genetic material to produce any outcome. However they carry out only a specific function.. sort of like a calculator can produce any number combination but is usually used for one specific function which you program into it .
The creation of Adam from all parts of the earth is a simile for carrying all the genetic material to produce any kind of offspring. You have different alleles one member of a pair combining to make any number of assortment through copulation and genetic drift over time.
Adam and Eve weren't related and there was only one generation of consanguineous relationships. There wasn't an enough lapse of time for any sort of genetic diseases to be borne a new.. if it were a progressive, over several generations type incestuous relations then indeed there would have been a higher chance of genetic diseases, but that wasn't the case..
Now, I'd like to propose you or anyone on board who disagrees with the religious stand on it to come up with a scientific alternative to Adam and Eve and work out the particulars.. if you start from a single celled organism and work yourself up to a complex being and make of that being a male and a female, you'll actually set yourself back and the end result you'll still have that male and female coupling and their off spring as well if the specie is to continue .. as you know modern man hasn't always been in existence .. we weren't always here, so you'll have alot more details to account for if the religious stance on thing doesn't appeal to you, or if you are a sell out to your own religion, so for instance those who think that Adam and Eve are some sort of euphemism but don't seem to apply the same logic of their god having an affair with a woman, being born to a woman, forsaking himself, dying, abrogating his own commandments through charlatans.. if that makes sense to you but Adam and Eve doesn't be my guest.. but you have to defend your stance on things whatever your perspective..
if you don't believe in God or the story of creation, you'll have to do better than mock the story of creation. Give a clear concise alternative..
and if you think the story is some sort of Hoax but still believe in a lesser God, then you'd still have to defend your position of why some things in your religion which are alot less logical seem to make better sense to you than a man and a woman populating the earth!
all the best!
