The mural on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is one of the most famous works of art in the world.]] According to the Book of Genesis of the Bible and to the Qur'an, Adam was the First man or woman created by God. Adam's mate, Eve (or Hawa) was either created from his rib (Genesis 2.21-22), or created at the same time (Genesis 1.27) as Adam, depending on which part of Genesis is read and how it is interpreted. Depending on which tradition is believed, she may or may not have been the first woman, or Adam's first wife. Adam—אָדָם in Standard Hebrew, ʾĀḏām in Tiberian Hebrew, and آدم (ʾĀdam) in Arabic language—means "man," "earthy," or "red." Eve—חַוָּה (Ḥavva) in Standard Hebrew, Ḥawwāh in Tiberian Hebrew, and حواء (Ḥawwāʾ) in Arabic—means "Life." In Aramaic (חיויה,חיווי,xywy)— means snake. ==Adam in Genesis== [[Image:Blake Adam and Eve.jpg|200px|thumb|right|''Adam and Eve'', by English poetry and Painting William Blake (1808).]] "God created man [i.e. Adam] in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." According to this account, Adam was absolutely the first man whom God created. He was formed out of the dust of the earth (hence his name, which means "red earth"), and God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and gave him dominion over all the lower creatures (Gen. 1:26; 2:7). The story is in Genesis, chapters two and three. After his creation, Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it, and to enjoy its fruits under this one prohibition: "Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." The first recorded act of Adam was his giving names to the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, which God brought to him for this end. Thereafter the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall upon him, and while in an unconscious state took one of his ribs, and closed up his flesh again; and of this rib he made a woman, whom he presented to him when he awoke. Adam received her as his wife, and said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." He called her Eve (Hebrew language: ''Chava'' "life"), because she was the mother of all living. Being induced by the serpent (whom later tradition made into Satan) to eat the forbidden fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, for "the serpent said unto the woman, 'Ye shall not surely die.'" (Genesis 3.4), Eve persuaded Adam, and he also did eat. Until then they were nude, but now "the eyes of them both were opened" and they made aprons of fig leaves to cover themselves. [[Image:Domenichinoadam eve.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Domenichino's portrayal of Genesis 3:12: "The woman whom thou gavest [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat" (1623–1625).]] Adam was expelled from Eden to prevent him gaining access to the tree of life (Genesis 3), which if he ate from it would have given eternal life. At the east of the garden God placed Cherubim and a flaming sword, which turned every way. Eastern Orthodox tradition says that from the time Jesus was born, the flaming sword was removed from the Garden of Eden, making it possible for humanity to return to Paradise. How long they were in Garden of Eden is matter of literalist conjecture; traditional Jewish sources assert that it was less than a day. Shortly after their expulsion, Eve brought forth her first-born child, and called him Cain. Only three of Adam's children (Cain, his brother Abel, and the lesser-known Seth) are named in Genesis, but it is said that he had other sons and daughters as well (Genesis 5:4). According to the text, he died aged 930 years (the interpretation of how long a "year" is meant to be interpreted is the subject of much debate). Judaism holds the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron as the traditional burial place of Adam and Eve. ==Later tales== [[Image:Durer Adam and Eve.jpg|200px|thumb|right|''Adam and Eve'', by Albrecht Dürer (1507).]] In the Book of Jubilees, a daughter (Awân) is born to Adam and Eve after the birth of Abel, Seth, a daughter named Azûrâ, and nine other sons who are not named. Cain later marries Awân and Seth marries Azûrâ. But according to Genesis Rabba and other later sources, Cain had a twin sister and Abel had two twin sisters or Cain had a twin sister named Lebuda and Abel a twin sister named Qelimath. In ''The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan'', Cain's twin sister is named Luluwa, and Abel's twin sister is named Aklia. There are a number of Pseudepigrapha works about Adam and Eve: *The Life of Adam and Eve in variant versions, *The Testament of Adam, *The Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan, *The Gnostic Apocalypse of Adam. According to some traditions, Adam had an earlier mate, Lilith. A tradition not found in the Bible text holds that the forbidden fruit was an Apple (fruit). The larynx in the human throat has been called Adam's apple because of a notion that it was caused by the forbidden fruit sticking in the throat of Adam. Some Biblical scholars have placed the Garden of Eden in what is now the Persian Gulf region. Others have suggested a location in Anatolia (Asia Minor)). Biblical geography had four rivers flowing from it: Tigris, Euphrates, Pishon and Gihon. ==Adam in Islam== [[Image:Adam and Eve Driven out of Eden.png|250px|thumb|left|Gustave Dore's ''Adam and Eve Driven out of Eden''.]] The Qur'an tells the story of Adam and Eve mainly in al-Baqara:30-39, al-A'raf:11-25, al-Hijr:26-44, al-Isra:61-65, Ta-Ha:115-124, Sad (sura):71-85. Eve is not mentioned by name in the Qur'an, but referred to as Adam's spouse; however, her name is given in Islamic tradition as Hawwa, as in Hebrew language. While Adam is regarded as the first human in Islam, he is also seen as a Prophets of Islam, in the sense that he was one of the people to whom God spoke. In the Qur'an, Allah (God) creates Adam of clay, and then told him "Be!" and he was. When God had announced his intention of creating Adam, the angels expressed dismay, asking why he would create a being that would do evil. But when He "taught Adam the names," they saw that he knew more than they, and learned from Adam. When God orders the angels to bow to Adam, the jinn Iblis (approximately equivalent to Satan) refuses due to his pride and is summarily banished from the heavens. However, he promises God that he will lead as many humans astray as he can, to which God replies that those who will it will follow Satan, while those who will it will follow God. Adam and Eve were sent to live in the Garden of Eden. They were allowed to live as they pleased there, but not to taste the fruit from a certain tree. However, they both eventually succumbed to the temptation of Satan, who promised them immortality if they ate from it, and ate; they then saw their nakedness and covered themselves with leaves. God punished them by sending them out into the earth amid mutual enmity, but then took mercy upon them; warning them not to follow Satan, he promised them that all would be well for those who followed God's guidance, while those who rejected it would suffer hellfire. The Qur'an also describes the two sons of Adam (named Qabil and Habil in Islamic tradition, but not mentioned by name in the Qur'an) that correspond to Cain and Abel. Islamic traditions also hold that Adam's Peak in Sri Lanka has an enormous footprint of Adam. Liberal movements within Islam have used God's command to bow before Adam as a means of supporting human rights. ==Art== [[Image:Masaccio-TheExpulsionOfAdamAndEveFromEden-Restoration.jpg|thumb|When it was cleaned, Tommaso Masaccio's fresco of ''The Expulsion'' (1426–1427) lost the added fig leaves.]] Early Renaissance artists used the theme of Adam and Eve as a way to represent female and male nudes in a then morally acceptable way. Sometimes a fig leaf covered their genitals. ==See also== *Similarities between the Bible and the Qur'an *Mitochondrial Eve *Y-chromosomal Adam *Creation narrative ==External Sources== *Similarities between the Bible and the Qur'an ==External links== *[http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/world/human.html First Human Beings] (Library of Congress) *[http://www.allaboutcreation.org/adam-and-eve.htm Adam and Even] (allaboutcreation.org) Torah people

How is this supposed to be understood? User:Andres 19:37, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC) ---- Upon visiting the website cited for the Winston Churchill fact, there is only a vague reference and there doesn't seem to be any actual family tree. I'll admit I spent a limited amount of time there, but even then, the website is by no means a legitimate basis for this information. Furthermore, Adam is a mythical character, and whether or not he existed is debatable. If Adam did actually exist and was the first man, this piece of information is utterly useless. As anyone who is human would be related to him. Why Winston Churchill would be specified is beyond me. Just another note; Citing Adam as a real person fails to take a neutral point of view, as it acknowledges Adam as a real person and the origin of all humans, which is a religious view. 4/22/04 - User:MichaelD ---- Strictly speaking, Genesis does not state that Adam was the first man. This is an interpretation of what is stated. Genesis 1 states that that god created man. In Genesis 2, God creates Adam from the dust of the earth, but does not state that he was the first man. Elsewhere in the Bible, it is stated that Adam was the first man, it just isn't in Genesis. Reading Genesis 2 as if Adam were not the first man makes more sense than assuming that he were. , 6 Aug 2004 (UTC) ==image source== I like Media:AdamAndEve_fx.png, but the image page doesn't give any background (artist, year, school...).
