Does anyone still really believe in Adam and Eve?

I don't get what's so crazy about believing in Adam and Eve. What's so crazy about it? You've never seen a person be created from anything but birth, so that means that it's impossible for it to have ever happened any other way?

See - this sounds obvious but it's the truth of it - the reason you don't get it is because you don't believe in the possibility of there being a G-d. Of course this whole Adam and Eve thing sounds crazy to you if you don't believe in G-d. But you're asking theists. You're asking people who do believe in G-d. If you believe in G-d then what's so hard about believing that He could do anything and that He did what He told us He did?

I'm Jewish and Judaism teaches that there actually is no such thing as "natural" - every single thing in the world is a miracle and happens only because G-d wills it - and nature is just miracles that He decided to do often. Sure, He set up "rules" that He likes to follow, but the bottom line is that for G-d there's no difference between miracle and nature. The study of science and nature is just the study of these rules that He usually follows. Make no mistake about it, G-d has reasons for doing things based on rules, and He has reasons FOR specifically using the rules He does. There's so much you can learn about the spiritual world through studying nature and science.

But the thing is - although He set up these rules and He usually to follow them, He's not restricted to following them. If He wants to do something that defies these guidelines, He can, and He will! There's no problem.

In Judaism you're encouraged to open your mind and stretch your perception of reality; we don't limit the world's possibilities to the physical things we see in front of us - what G-d tells us happened happened, even if it's hard for us to imagine because we haven't actually seen in ourselves. Although if we are honest with ourselves and we look into nature we will be able to see with our own eyes how it is indeed a miracle and how and why it's really just G-d's will manifesting itself in the world.

Adam and Eve were the first people in the world, and they were created by G-d molding them through dust, wind, etc. What about this is more miraculous than birth? If G-d wanted to we'd all be "born" the way that Adam and Eve were, and then that would become the nature that we all study and call science. But He in His infinite wisdom decided that from then on people would be born through the process we're familiar with today - so that is what's natural and that's what we're used to and therefore that's what makes sense to us.

The world doesn't work based on "what makes sense to us". It works based on what makes sense to G-d.

EDIT: I was thinking about it and realized that I didn't give a complete answer. I believe in both the reality of G-d's existence and in the absolute truth of the Torah. So if someone just believes in a Creator that doesn't necessarily mean they believe what we say about Him. But if you believe the Torah then that means you do.

What you might have thought about Adam and Eve is indicating a "mono genesis" ideology. There are those like me who believe there were other people on the planet (such as Cain's wife), who co-habitated the earth at the same time. That is a "poly genesis" theory.

It's a metaphor you dope. Adam and Eve where the first **** Sapiens. All hominids were genetically manipulated until we arrived. By whom you will ask? The Annunaki.

Yes. For example, Ray Comfort.

His basic premise is: "Beautiful things exist, therefore God." The watchmaker argument.

Watch some videos about him, he's crazy.
