There are thousands of species living on our world. Then Eve was fashioned from the flesh of Adam and as a result came into existence Genesis We know that time elapsed between Genesis 2 and Genesis 3, but how much time?
In Genesis Eve was tempted by Satan and eventually sinned because she wanted to be like God and the fruit was visually pleasing. After Adam sinned they became sinners and sin entered the world. Then we are told that they sewed fig leaves together because they now recognized that they are naked.
How much time elapsed during the temptation? Did the temptation occur over days or in a single day? Then we are told that in the cool of the evening God visited them Genesis It appears this occurred that evening and the announcement of the curse happened quickly.
Then time elapsed until God removed them from the garden. Genesis states that God removed Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden because they had sinned. So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden. Genesis NASB. It is an imperfect verb implying repeated action in the past. It may imply the activity of God removing Adam and Eve from the garden. Even if it does not, the context implies that God was eager to remove them since He did not want them to eat from the Tree of Life and live forever Genesis To obtain the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser or turn off compatibility mode in Internet Explorer.

When the overall population size does not change as is likely to have happened for long periods of human history , men have, on average, just one son. In this case, evolutionary theory predicts that for any given man there is a high probability that his paternal line will eventually come to an end. All of his male descendants will then have inherited Y chromosomes from other men.
In fact, it is highly probable that at some point in the past, all men except one possessed Y chromosomes that by now are extinct. All men living now, then, would have a Y chromosome descended from that one man — identified as Y-chromosome Adam.
The biblical reference is a bit of a misnomer because this Adam was by no means the only man alive at his time. Similarly, the theory predicts that all mitochondrial genomes today should be traceable to a single woman, a 'mitochondrial Eve'. This woman, the researchers concluded, probably lived in Africa around , years ago.
The finding provided evidence for the theory that modern humans evolved in Africa before migrating to other continents. Yet comparable studies later found that Adam, the common ancestor of the portion of the Y chromosome that passes from father to son, lived roughly , years ago.
Carlos Bustamante, a population geneticist at the Stanford University School of Medicine in California who led one of the latest studies, says that chance could explain the discrepancy between the ages of Adam and Eve. Polygamy could also help to explain the gap, he says. The calculation of when Adam or Eve lived depends on the number of breeding adults in a population, and polygamy reduces the number of males that pass on their Y chromosomes, thereby skewing the estimate.
Bustamante and his team sequenced the Y chromosomes of 69 males from around the world and uncovered about 9, previously unknown DNA sequence variations. They used these variations to create a more reliable molecular clock and found that Adam lived between , and , years ago. A comparable analysis of the same men's mtDNA sequences suggested that Eve lived between 99, and , years ago 1. Meanwhile, a team led by Paolo Francalacci, a population geneticist at the University of Sassari, Italy, came to a similar conclusion by studying the Y chromosomes of 1, men from the island of Sardinia.
The team identified nearly 7, previously unknown Y-chromosome variations and used that detail to create their own molecular clock. The clock helped to pinpoint key events in Sardinian history, such as the rise of Neolithic populations there and the arrival of Africans as part of the Roman slave trade. Bustamante says that, all in all, the two papers match up well.
She then took the fruit to Adam and he ate it knowing he was doing the wrong thing. Because they disobeyed what God had explicitly told them and chose to believe Satan, they began to experience spiritual death, and soon physical death.
God expelled them from the garden. Adam and Eve sinned by placing their desires above what God had told them and through this act sin entered the world. No longer would it be easy to harvest fruit. Thorns and weeds would make planting and harvesting hard labor. Men would have to work to eat. Women would give birth in pain. Animals became dangerous and carnivorous.
Is this the end of the story about Adam and Eve? Did God expel Adam and Eve from the garden without providing a way for them to repair their relationship with Him? Or did God make a way for people's sin to be taken care of? How can what you believe about Adam and Eve affect your life today? If you believe that Adam and Eve were created by God and disobeyed Him, bringing sin into this world, does that make you a sinner?
