Adam and Eve DNA
mharrell08:
Romans 5:12 states "death passed onto all men" not sin. Morality or death is what passed onto all mankind from Adam. We were all made "subject to vanity" and "carnal minded" so that is the reason we all sin and "not seek after God".
Gen 5:2
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created
Adam and Eve were called simply "Adam" by the Lord. Like a wife taking her husband's name if you will. So through "Adam" (Adam & Eve: 2 will become 1 flesh) death passed unto all mankind.

The Mitochondrial Eve
Rebecca L. Cann
Most urban North Americans are a bit like West African Pygmies. They have neither the interest nor the ability to trace their kinship back further than 3 generations. In contrast, some Samoans can produce pedigrees 20 generations long. History may count for so little to so many, but what about the future? Demographers estimate that an American male probably has less than a 20 percent chance that a direct descendant with the same last name will be alive 250 years from now. Human families just don't persist very long.
If most lineages that we can actually identify ultimately die out, how is it possible that our species has survived for thousands of years? Recent research suggests that we are all directly linked through maternal genes to a nameless, faceless great-grandmother 200,000 years old, and scientists must now grapple with the implications of this deep penetration into human kinship. Astonishing as it may seem, molecular anthropology shows that all people alive today trace some of their genes to a single woman who was probably from Africa. This female may be the only common link in our species. She contributed a set of genes that has been passed on only by women, and through those genes, we are uncovering areas of the past that have been hidden from us by history, culture, and our own eyes.
Scientific advances rarely proceed in straight lines, and the study of human evolution has been no exception. Yet the traditional portrayal of the fossil evidence of our ancestry gives the impression that scientists have reliably mapped the evolution of humans. It seems that once some messiness was sorted out 5 million years ago, there was a smooth steady development of the line. Although new molecular refinements provide ...

Hi Paul,
--- Quote ---"Romans 5:12"
If this is not a spiritual aspect, then it is indeed incorrect. Eve Sinned first so why would it not be more accurate to say through "one woman"?
If it is the literal we are talking about, then the sin entered the world through a woman.

Adam was created first, Adam was not decieved 1 Tim 2:14, man is the head of the woman 1 Cor. 11:3.
God caused Eve to be deceived and she believed the Lie of the serpent, where as Adam was not decieved and ate because of his love for Eve, thus God said to Eve;
Gen 3:16 To the woman He said:
"I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you."
That is why Paul says in Rom. 5:12 sin entered through man; Adam was not deceived, he was the first man that was made and he was the head of the woman and representative of all his posterity to follow.
Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--
mercy, peace and love

"Anthropos" is translated human.

Incorrect? That's a bold statement to make.

I qualified my assertions to the literal. The bible is one huge metaphor, if the story of adam eve is indeed 100% literal, then there is a contradiction in saying that literally adam the literal man is the cause.
The points made towards me show that the explanations cannot be made in the literal, so the story cannot be physically literal.
If the name adam is representative of the woman eve and 2 becoming one is represented by the name adam, then the story is not completely literal.
Literally a race of males and females were created, but metaphorically the story is a representation of mankind as a whole.
