I doubt if there are many now who believe that The Garden Of Eden was some sort of proto 18-30 club and Adam & Eve the first guests there. It is a story concocted by people who, while they knew the hand of God was at work, couldn't see clearly what he was doing, or understand the methods he was using.
That is the usual excuse that is trotted out by believers, isn't it about time you showed put a bit of intellectual effort supporting your claims.

In contrast, the believers, and I include myself here, are ordinary people of simple faith. I believe. And that's enough for me. I can't prove it, nor intellectualise it.
