SCIENTISTS DISCOVER PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE OF ADAM AND EVE
Evidence discovered by scientists seems to support the idea that the first man and woman in the Bible "actually existed." The creation is found in the Bible's Book of Genesis explains how God created humanity. The narrative describes how Adam and Eve were formed from dust. Adam was created on the sixth day, and he later used one of his ribs to create Eve.The two were exiled from paradise and thrust into a world of good and evil after Eve gave in to temptation and ate the forbidden fruit. Some have found the biblical story hard to believe, even though Christians believe it depicts the beginning of human life on Earth. At first, scientists discovered that the ancestors who transmitted the female mitochondrial DNA and the male Y chromosomes lived tens of thousands of years apart. However, recent research indicates that all living humans do share a common ancestor.All of our DNA is said to contain "Mitochondrial Eve," a form of genetic material that mothers pass on to their offspring. Geneticists traced this DNA to figure out when the lineage started and found it was around 200,000 years ago. Additionally, using comparable research to the Y-chromosome, researchers at the University of Sassari in Italy estimate that Adam lived between 180,000 and 200,000 years ago, placing the two at roughly the same historical moment.According to Dr. Joshua Swamidass, a biologist at Washington University, the evidence of mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosome Adam suggests that humanity may have originated from a single couple. In a paper that appeared in Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith, Dr. Swamidass stated: "Many people are directly descended from 'all the living'. "All living people are descended from these common ancestors. The same is true for everyone alive at the start of recorded history, or in AD 1.""Two of them could be a particular couple, named Adam and Eve in scripture, from whom we all descend."The Daily Mail notes that although the document did not explicitly state that Adam and Eve were the only parents of humanity, the theory of evolution does not preclude their existence either. However, many aspects of the biblical story must be abandoned to make it fit through a scientific lens. For example, we must question whether our ancestors were human and whether God created Adam and Eve.

As Dr Swamidass notes, Homo Sapiens were not the first humans on Earth. Consider that there were other human species such as Homo habilis who lived around 1.9 to 1.9 million years ago. However, some scientists now think Eden might be the birthplace of civilization.
According to the Daily Star, archaeologists have determined that the biblical Eden may have been the ancient Mesopotamia, which includes what is now eastern Syria, northwest Turkey, and a sizable portion of Iraq. Professor Eric Cline, a classical and biblical archaeologist from George Washington University argued in his book, From Eden to Exile, that the evidence aligns with the scriptures. He wrote: "From a textual perspective, this makes some sense.
In addition to stating that the garden was located "in the east," which refers to Israel's eastern region, the biblical narrative also makes reference to the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers about the Garden of Eden. However, according to some scientists, the "ancestral homeland of all humans alive today" is the Kalahari Desert in Africa.
