I was born an atheist

I can't remember anything before I was 3 but I can state with confidence that I wasn't having thoughts about theology when I was born. Coping with this confusing world was enough for my little brain to be getting on with. You must have been a very advanced baby.  :)

Where did the next generation come from  :o :o

Genesis 5:4 "After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters."

That sounds plenty to me...  if they weren't interested in their own family history they could even be blithely unaware that everyone else in the bar was their sibling!

I hear from creationists that there weren't any mutations yet so it was all fine and the word "ick" was not discovered until 3000 BC

ADAM BEN EDEN
100–1030
BIRTH 5 APRIL 100 • Garden of Eden
DEATH 5 APRIL 1030 • Olaha, Shinehah, East Eden
====
EVE BINT eden
100–1030
BIRTH 5 APRIL 100 • Garden of Eden


I'm querying their dates of birth. I thought Adam was older than Eve.

My young daughter, many moons ago, in the queue at the local supermarket asked in a loud voice "what was Adam & Eve's surname Mummy?".

Hushed silence whilst the rest of the queues waited for my answer.

I think I went into some rambling explanation of surnames not being commonly introduced until much later.

Must have worked cos she is now an avid genealogist.

Not so easy with another queue question that was asked of me by daughter in a pushchair -
"Mummy why has that man not got any hair on his head?"

Most mortifying.  Pheno

I asked my grandma if she'd met Adam and Eve when she was a little girl. I was surprised when she laughed and disappointed to learn that they were dead long before she was born. I was under the impression that the Garden of Eden was somewhere in my district. I also believed I lived near the North Pole. There was no atlas in my house then. 12 years later I passed (just) Geography O-Level.
