LouisvilleFan Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 the fact that humans are like a hundred thousand years old, and Adam could only be some small thousands of years old... almost seems to force us to conclude that the story of Adam and Eve is just a story. no? Or St. Matthew skipped a lot of people along the way in order to make a nice little 7-7-7 pattern with the generations. After all, as a converted tax collector for the Romans, he was not well practiced in strict accounting principles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not precisely. There must have been some sin committed by a single man who spawned the human race. Otherwise all of salvation history is meaningless.
