But they were children of Seth, who were of the children of Adam, that dwelt on the mountain, high up, while they preserved their virginity, their innocence and their glory like angels; and were then called 'angels of God'.
Adam, the first humans
Adam was the result of genetic modification
Adam evolved from Homo Erectus or Homo Habulus
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, many view Adam, as described in the Bible's Book of Genesis, as the first human whom God created.
This narrative presents Adam as being formed from the earth's dust, with life breathed into him by God, symbolizing a unique bond between humanity and the divine, and highlighting the special role of humans in the world.
However, the term "Adam" also broadly signifies not just an individual, but humanity in its entirety.
This interpretation arises from the Hebrew usage of the name "Adam," which can mean "man," "mankind," or "humanity" generally.
Thus, the creation story of Adam often serves as a symbolic account of the origins of all humans.
Therefore, while traditionally Adam is seen as the first individual human in Judeo-Christian scriptures, there's also a wider interpretation that regards Adam as a symbolic figure representing the beginnings of the human race.
Interpretations of Adam vary significantly based on theological, cultural, and personal viewpoints.
It was conferred upon me from the fathers; it came down from the fathers, from the beginning of time, yea, even from the beginning, or before the foundation of the earth, down to the present time, even the right of the firstborn, or the first man, who is Adam, or first father, through the fathers unto me.
Adam, in this merged interpretation, symbolizes the origin and essence of humanity.
In the Bible, God creates Adam as the first human, forming him from the earth's dust and breathing life into him.
Adam, in this sense, is not just an individual but a prototype of all human beings, embodying the qualities and potential of humanity.
Extending this to the first human race, Adam becomes a metaphorical figure representing the dawn of humanity.
In this broader context, Adam's creation mirrors the emergence of the human species, reflecting themes of life, consciousness, and the beginning of human existence.
This interpretation aligns with the name "Adam" in Hebrew, which can be understood as "humanity" in a general sense.
Therefore, Adam, as the first human race, encapsulates both the theological dimensions of a divinely created being and the anthropological view of the emergence of the human species.
This combined interpretation sees Adam as a foundational figure, both in a spiritual sense as the first man created by God and in a symbolic sense as the representative of the early stages of human evolution and development.
Interpreting Adam as representing the early stages of human evolution, rather than as a single historical individual, requires a metaphorical understanding of aspects like his age, offspring, and wife.
In the biblical narrative, Adam is depicted as living for many centuries.
However, when considering Adam as a symbol for early humanity, his 'age' could represent the lengthy evolutionary process rather than a literal lifespan.
Biblically, Adam and Eve's children signify the beginnings of the human population.
By tradition, Adam had 33 sons and 23 daughters.
Eve's creation from Adam's rib in the Genesis account is rich in symbolic meaning.
When Adam is seen as representing early humanity, Eve's creation can symbolize the emergence of human social structures, relationships, and perhaps even the recognition of gender roles in early societies.
Interpreting the biblical names of Adam's children as symbolic milestones in human evolution involves a creative, allegorical approach.
Let's consider some of the notable children of Adam and Eve mentioned in the Bible and how their names might metaphorically correspond to key stages or aspects of human development:
2 Then she said to Adam, “The signs placed in this cave since we left the garden indicate that this is a pure place and we will be praying in it again some time.
3 Adam then took Eve to that cave.
Adam felt sorry, and he was very worried about her because she was close to death and the words of God to her were being fulfilled: “In suffering shall you bear a child, and in sorrow shall you bring forth a child.”
4 But when Adam saw the distress in which Eve was, he got up and prayed to God, and said, “O Lord, look at me with the eye of Your mercy, and bring her out of her distress.”
6 The Adam rejoiced at Eve’s deliverance, and also over the children she had borne him.
And Adam ministered to Eve in the cave, until the end of eight days; when they named the son Cain, and the daughter Luluwa.
Therefore Adam named him Cain.
9 Then Adam and Eve waited until Cain and his sister were forty days old, when Adam said to Eve, “We will make an offering and offer it up in behalf of the children.”
Egypt first discovered by a woman
26 Pharaoh, being a righteous man, established his kingdom and judged his people wisely and justly all his days, seeking earnestly to imitate that order established by the fathers in the first generations, in the days of the first patriarchal reign, even in the reign of Adam, and also of Noah, his father, who blessed him with the blessings of the earth, and with the blessings of wisdom, but cursed him as pertaining to the Priesthood.
Snakes And Reptilians
In Judeo-Christian traditions, the snake is famously linked to the story of Adam and Eve, symbolizing temptation and the fall of humanity.

After the flood, he found in the valley of Hebron, where Adam lived after being expelled from the earthly paradise, seven marble tablets on which the principles of the seven liberal arts are engraved.

ii., 21) that "the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam," and while he slept God made Eve out of one of his ribs.
Cherubim
And again, when Adam was by the gate of the garden, and saw the cherub with a sword of flashing fire in his hand, and the cherub grew angry and frowned at him, both Adam and Eve became afraid of him, and thought he meant to put them to death.
Chapter LIV – Adam and Eve go exploring.
1 Then Adam and Eve stood up in the cave and prayed the whole of that night until the morning dawned.
3 And the cherub who guarded the garden was standing at the western gate, and guarding it against Adam and Eve, lest they should suddenly come into the garden.
4 When Adam and Eve came to the eastern border of the garden—thinking in their hearts that the cherub was not watching—as they were standing by the gate as if wishing to go in, suddenly came the cherub with a flashing sword of fire in his hand; and when he saw them, he went forth to kill them.
But when he raised it over Adam and Eve, the flame of the sword did not flash forth.
8 When Adam and Eve saw the cherub coming towards them with a flaming sword of fire in his hand, they fell on their faces from fear, and were as dead.
10 Then, again, other angels came down close to the place where Adam and Eve were.
11 They were glad, because they thought that God was favorable to Adam, and wished him to return to the garden; and wished to restore him to the gladness he once enjoyed.
12 But they sorrowed over Adam, because he was fallen like a dead man, he and Eve; and they said in their thoughts, “Adam has not died in this place; but God has put him to death, for his having come to this place, and wishing to get into the garden without His permission.”The first book of Adam and Eve

[1] And it came to pass, when men human began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,[2] That the sons of God Assendence of Aessir saw the daughters of men human that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.[3] And the LORD Enlil said, My spirit appearance shall not always strive with man altered humans, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be limited to an hundred and twenty 120 years.[4] There were giants, Nemhir, in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God Assendence of Aessir came in unto the daughters of men human, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men human which were of old, men human of renown - Methuselah, Lamech, Adam, Seth..[5] And GOD Anu saw that the wickedness rebellion of man altered humans was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.[6] And it repented the LORD Enlil that he had made man altered humans on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.[7] And the LORD Enlil said, I will destroy man altered humans whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man altered humans, and altered beast, and the altered creeping thing, and the altered fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.[8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD Enki.[9] These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man altered human and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God Anu.
Adam’s Descendants
The genealogy from Adam (the first man, according to the Bible) to Noah is as follows:
Adam lived for 930 years.
Seth, Adam’s son, lived for 912 years.
If you add up the ages, starting with the birth of Adam to the birth of Noah, and then add Noah’s age at the time of the flood (600 years), the total time from the Garden of Eden to the flood is:
1 This is the book of the generations of Adam.
2 male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
In this context, "their begetter" can imply that Adam was the creator or parent of other beings or entities.
4 and the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
5 and all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Cain and Abel
1 Adam[a] made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[b] She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth[c] a man.”
Nemhir
[4] There were giants, Nemhir, in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God Assendence of Aesir came in unto the daughters of men human, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men human which were of old, men human of renown - Methuselah, Lamech, Adam, Seth..
The birth chamber
8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
9 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.

The Adam, first humans - homo sapiens
19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
ii., 21) that “the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,” and while he slept God made Eve out of one of his ribs.
23 And Adam 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.
While this was happening, Iblis approached the animals of the world to see which one would bear him into the Garden of Eden so that he could speak with Adam and his wife and tempt them towards evil.
He told her: ‘I will protect you from the children of Adam; you will be under my protection if you get me into the Garden.’ She placed him between her two fangs.
Adam, in a conversation with his mate, expressed a wish that he and Eve could live forever.
When Iblis overheard this, he realized this was Adam’s weakness, and he came to Adam, hiding in the serpent’s mouth, and offered him eternal life.
Iblis began to weep uncontrollably, and when Adam and Eve heard him, they asked, ‘Why are you weeping?’ Iblis said, ‘I’m weeping for the two of you, because you will die and leave the pleasure and honour you are in.’
Then Iblis whispered in Adam’s ear something that eventually would become a verse in the Qur'an: ‘Shall I lead thee to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never decays?’ (Qur'an 20:120).
Both Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of the Tree of Eternity, which was the only tree forbidden to them by Allah.
Unlike the Judaeo-Christian version of this story, which blames Eve for first eating the fruit and persuading Adam to do likewise, the Qur'an assigns responsibility equally to Adam and Eve.
The Islamic version also rejects the Christian concept of ‘original sin’ and asserts that Adam and Eve were forgiven for their transgression after they repented.
The early Shi'ite scholar Ibn Babuya al-Qummi (d.991) records the view that the Garden of Eden was not entirely earthly, and that Adam and Eve were sent down to mountain peaks outside Mecca.
Adam landed on Safa, and Eve on Marwa.
Jewish tradition relates that Adam fell down in India on a mountain called Wasim in a valley called Bahil, between the lands of al-Dahnaj and al-Mandal.
(Adam eventually travelled to Mecca and rejoined Eve.)
According to Ibn Ishaq, after Iblis was expelled from the Garden of Eden, he married the serpent whose mouth he had entered when he spoke to Adam, and they had offspring.
An interesting branch of the Adam legend with rich jinn connections involves Lilith, a she-demon of great antiquity whose important role in Semitic lore received its richest embellishment in the late Middle Ages in Jewish Kabbalistic mystical writings particularly prevalent in Spain.
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
9 Then Adam said to Eve, “Behold, our hope is now lost; and so is our trust to enter the garden.
That night Adam and Eve spent in the cave, where they slept heavily by reason of the food they had eaten.
In Gnosticism, the biblical serpent in the Garden of Eden was praised and thanked for bringing knowledge (gnosis) to Adam and Eve and thereby freeing them from the malevolent Demiurge's control.
Book of Genesis
In the second, God, now referred to as "Yahweh Elohim" (rendered as "the LORD God" in English translations), creates two individuals, Adam and Eve, as the first man and woman, and places them in the Garden of Eden.
