Adam And Eve Were The First Humans With Souls.
The humans who evolved have no soul. Adam and Eve were told to keep themselves and their family separated from these evolved humans.

I like your debate topic. It brings the whole creationism and evolution topics together.

Hahaha! Quite amusing.

Assuming that Adam and Eve is not just a "simple tale written for a simpler culture in a time they couldn't grasp the complexities we do now", (by Grenache, where I concur), I would say your theory seems logical and philosophical. This even goes along with evolution, or at least doesn't go against it.

 nice try,, but ultimately? NO CIGAR ;-)

more like this:

Adam and Eve had souls, which they sullied by disobedience to God not to eat of the Tree Of Life; but they did, and were naked and ashamed, so God said unto them "'COVER UP!" so they - Adam and Eve, said, "we better be-WEAVE-it ! and so they sewed fig-leaves together for clothes....;-)

Though I don’t believe that a man named Adam and a woman named Eve, who was made from a rib of her predecessor, simply appeared on Earth at one point in time out of nowhere, if I were to assume, for the sake of the argument, that this event did indeed occur, using the knowledge gained from reading such stories about the occurrence, I’d agree. I find it kind of odd that you put this debate in the “science” category though, seeing as how evolution appears to play a minor role in this debate.

If there was an Adam and Eve then how can we have different races of people? Everyone’s genetics would come from the same two people. I can't believe people actually believe this stuff.

 The topic suggestion suggests there were other humans at the time of Adam and Eve. The topic suggests these humans were souless creatures of evolution...same as what some people on this site claim they are.

I can't believe you weren't more careful with your reading of the description.

First I fully believe animals have souls and intelligence too. You'll never convince me my sweet smart (and now deceased) cat was just a bundle of nerve impulses and undeserving of reuniting with me in the afterlife. And so if animals can have souls then the primates going through evolution could have had souls too.

Second I believe Adam and Eve and Genesis as a whole is a simple tale written for a simpler culture in a time they couldn't grasp the complexities we do now.

Third if what you say is true, that Adam and Eve had the first souls, then you're linking the very existence of souls to the very existence of actual sin, frankly wouldn't we have been better to just remain as animals without sin than to win these precious souls and spend the thousands of years ever since trying to prove we don't deserve to be burned in hell for sinning?

 There are humans posting on this site who insist they have no soul and you fully believe animals have souls. Something strange going on.

I agree with your second paragraph.

You lose me at the onset to the third paragraph. Are you suggesting that the first souls shouldn't be linked to sin.

Addressing the end of the paragraph...

You're linking an argument that would seem to be based on the entire story that is connected to Adam and Eve but you are not. In the story, humans were never supposed to try and prove they didn't deserve Hell. I think you would have to ask yourself, why what you describe, is commonly accepted as what the story suggests. It does not only not suggest such a thing; it could be debated it is the opposite.

Well you seem religious, so by concluding that humans today have no soul your disproving your own religion. Also, Adam and Eve are the same as humans today if you truly think about the stories. We are corrupt/disobedient, and so were they. They did it in a subtle form, whereas we are now doing it in much larger ways. Therefore your wrong, and your wrong.

 You talking to me? The topic didn't conclude that humans today have no soul. Don't know where you came up with that.

I agree there are likenesses between Adam and Eve and the humans of today.

I have to disagree with the subtle part. Adam and Eve were in paradise and spoke directly with God. They were told to not do only one thing and given the consequence of death. They chose to do it anyway. Not much subtlety there.
