All humans are descendants of Adam and Eve.

I would have appreciated if you had not accepted this debate. I implemented basic rules and if you don't like them, don't accept the debate. I want to have a mature, scientific debate and you have already ruined it. Please follow these basic rules and everything will be fine. Voters, if my opponent fails to follow the basic rules in this debate, please take the "conduct" points away from him. I am beyond angry, but I must learn to control my anger. Therefore, I will take this in a positive way. Now, let's begin: Main ArgumentI will organize my main argument into sections. I will go into detail about most of the specific points I will make. Point One: The Bible is an unreliable source I will not go into much detail about this specific point. I have already debated this topic and I will send you the link to that specific debate. Please read my arguments fully. The link is the following: http://www.debate.org... Due to the Bible's unreliability, how can you assume that what is written in it is true? I assure you that there is no truth when it comes to Adam and Eve and Creation. Point Two: IncestThe story of Adam and Eve does not work scientifically. If Adam and Eve have a child, who will that child mate with? This is called incest. If you don't know what it is, I will gladly define it for you. There are two definitions of incest, according to dictionary.com. The specific definition I am looking for is the following: "sexual intercourse between closely related persons." [1] Incest is a very dangerous thing to do. There are many symptoms, not only for the people who are having sex, but also the child that is produced from it. "Incest is a form of chronic traumatic stress that can lead to a host of initial and long-term effects. Like child sexual abuse in general, it poses a serious mental health risk for many victims. The chronic nature of the abuse, thenature of the family, including its dynamics and defenses, the child's dependence on and entrapment in the family, and his or her loyalty to that family,necessitate using strong defenses to cope. Denial and dissociation (splitting off of normal thought processes from consciousness) allow the victim to discount, minimize, or otherwise suppress memories of abuse. These defenses often persist into adulthood. As a result, survivors may appear asymptomatic andnot suffering from long-term effects of the abuse, when in reality they are emotionally constricted due to the trauma. Most former incest victims had little opportunity either in childhood or later to get effective assistance to end the abuse or to treat its effects. Theseuntreated effects (immediate or long-term) become chronic or delayed and give rise to additional symptoms. These symptoms, in turn, create new problems that usually prompt the adult survivor to seek treatment. Some of the most common of these problems include depression, eating disorders, substance abuse,anxiety, or dissociative disorders such as multiple personality disorder. Survivors might also seek treatment for domestic abuse or other types of sexualviolence. Since incest usually occurs in childhood, it inevitably influences maturationand development. For many survivors, the incest experience, along with its aftermath and coping mechanisms, has greatly influenced and become integratedinto the personality. Some survivors develop the symptoms of specific personality disorders, most commonly those associated with hysteric, borderline (difficulty maintaining a stable mood and self-image), narcissistic, avoidant, ordependent personalities." [2] Unfortunately, I cannot find a proper link to explain my next point about incest. However, I have a thorough knowledge of genetics and biology and therefore can tell you the effects of incest. Incest will often cause genetic disorders in the child that results from the act. A brother and sister having sex, for example, will cause their child to have a genetic disorder. Also, a parent having sexual intercourse with their child will also cause such an issue if an offspring results from the act. Furthermore, if Adam and Eve had a child and their child had sex with them, there would be a major health issue. Point Three: The PopulationAccording to the Bible, Adam and Eve were the ancestors of all humans. An issue with this would be the population. How can two individuals give birth to such a large population? I have already stated the incest issue and the Bible's reliability. How can you still believe Adam and Eve were real people? And now I shall make a point about evolution. Point Four: Humanity's True Origin / EvolutionHumanity did not descend from Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve weren't even real people. The true origin of humanity is Africa. "Humans are primates. Physical and genetic similarities show that the modern human species,Homo sapiens, has a very close relationship to another group of primate species, the apes. Humans and the great apes (large apes) of Africa -- chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called “pygmy chimpanzees”) and gorillas -- share a common ancestor that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa. " [3] Please look at the illustration of human migration below: The illustration above clearly shows early human migration. It does not correspond with the Bible and the story of Adam and Eve. Below, I will show a "family tree" of human evolution. ConclusionThe Bible is an unreliable source. There are issues with incest and the population. The story of Adam and Eve does not correspond with the solid and valid evidence of Evolution. I have a challenge for you: Prove to me that Creation is true. Prove that Adam and Eve were real people. If you somehow managed to do that, I would praise your debating skills. I do, however, doubt this will occur. I will go into more detail in the coming rounds. However, I do not want to write too much. I want to give my opponent and opportunity to make his main arguments. Once this is done, I will go into more detail and make rebuttals about this points. I await his response. Sources & References [1] http://dictionary.reference.com...[2] http://www.faqs.org...[3] http://humanorigins.si.edu...
