You do realize in the adam and eve story they both just have 2 sons, kane and able. Who do get violent with one another however besides the point how can have all of mankind just come from 2 brothers? Did they then have children with their mother? Did their mother have more undocumented children who then as siblings had children with their brother? Doesn't this go against biblical teachings of that close of an incest or was it okay in that covenant? Didn't they get thrown out of the garden of eden to suffer because of a talking snake and a tricky god?

Gurbani mentions adam and eve in kabir ji bani but it seems very metaphorical when bhagat kabir talks about the sufi islamic concept of adam being a great prophet or spiritual seeker who reached greatness and fell the islamic sufi reason is god needed to send adam downwards so that he could uplift others. But Kabir ji is talking about his or the reader or listeners spiritual state compared to the greats which doesn't exactly tell us an Adam did exist since you can use fictional stories and metaphors to make a point. There are interprations of evolution drawn upon in GS Sidhu's works or books written in english where he quotes passages of gurbani which he feels proves evolution existed in gurbani. The only problem is why did the British come up with theory before sikhs? Why do sikhs easily dismiss it? The theory did exist in it's early days from the ancient greek philosophers, why didn't sikhs adopt that early on?

Evolutionist theory do however propose that all of mankind from traces of DNA did have a single maternal point of ancestry so an evolved Eve did exist but no Adam. Evolution seems to be far to factual to discount. As does the big bang but the point of the big bang is where they question mark lies something doesn't just come out of nothing hence a causation is required. Richard Dawkins does make excellent arguments to dismiss common misconceptions of evolution that the british education system didn't entirely eliminate in it's education system and the American education system that refuses to teach even though america is one of the leading nations in science- people have to learn it in university I guess over there.

BTW under kabbalah jewish mysticism which seems very eastern and similar to our own philosophy the serpent or magical talking snake represent ego/maya- the dollar symbol for money is derived from an ancient symbol of twin snakes.

The apple has always represented knowledge hence why people say ignorance is bliss- but in the common christian narrative it was the knowledge of evil which corrupted adam and eve through that apple, which doesn't explain why does a loving god set up knowingly his children to be damned for all eternity especially when he controls them only for jesus - you got to remember these stories come from various jewish writers it's likely this came from a more economically depressed time since it's the earliest story of genesis when the jews were a desert tribe, a minority grouping of people and as with other tribal groups had their stories.

I guess in sikhi the snake and apple might be both maya (materialism) and haumai (self-destructive ego)
