I have always interpreted the Adam and Eve story as allegory. It teaches us many things, including mankind's fall from paradise, in the process acquiring consciousness but at the cost of entering the state of sin which leaves us in need of God's redeeming grace.
But, Dawkins would know nothing of these things.
I have always interpreted the Adam and Eve story as allegory. So why did Jesus, Hosea and Paul all discuss Adam and Eve as if they were real people, including basing doctrine on their experiences? Why did one of the Gospel writers list this fictional character (Adam) as Jesus' ancestor?
