Adam & Eve
Evidence of Adam and Eve (Looking into science)
How do we know if God really created Adam and Eve?
When God created living beings/species on earth, he was planting DNA on earth. Not only the very first two humans, but animals, plants, trees, and so forth of all kinds. God’s work is constantly being discovered by scientists all the time. DNA, for example, is one of the most significant evidence of God’s work uncovered by humans.
What is DNA?
DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid, which looks like a twisted staircase comprised of Chromosomes.
Not a single person on earth has the exact same DNA, not even identical twins. Human DNA is not unique because all living species have similar DNA, including animals, mammals, plants, and flowers.
The reason everyone looks different is because of the Genome sequence. Genome is genes we adapt from our ancestors.
But to explain further why we all look different mainly has to do with what is called the “Jumping Genes,” or “Transposons.”
In 1944, Barbara McClintock discovered chromosomes jump within their own DNA, causing mutations. As a result, eye color, hair color, skin color, the shape of a nose, and so on take place. The discovery was so complex that not even other scientists could fully comprehend her findings, but eventually, they came around and finally gave Barbara McClintock a Nobel Prize in 1983.
Finally, science shows DNA cannot create all on its own, rather it can only be replicated by the process of Genome. Therefore, all human beings’ DNA was replicated from the long line of Adam and Eve.
Excerpt by National Human Genome Research Institute:
“Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from parents to offspring, DNA contains the specific instructions that make each type of living creature unique.”

Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:20-31)
Ｇｅｎｅｓｉｓ １：２０－３１
(New Living Translation – NLT)
Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.” So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
And evening passed and morning came, marking the fifth day.
Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.” And that is what happened. God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
So God created human beings in his own image.In the image of God he created them;male and female he created them.
Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”
Then God said, “Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened.
Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!
And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.
