From my understanding 'adam' means 'mankind' and 'eve' means 'life giver'. It was a title given to a groups of people. I've just stayed with that understanding because it makes more sense and is easier to understand.any religious people wanna run this down?

It is also said that the characters of the bible are more aspects of human nature than they are actual individual people. Imo the bible is majority allegorical and symbolic. Which makes everything a lot more logical and useful to everyday life. Some things can only be conveyed through stories.any religious people wanna run this down?

Adam symbolizes the "heavenly spirit", Eve symbolizes the "human soul", the Tree of Knowledge symbolizes "the human world", and the serpent symbolizes "attachment to the human world". The fall of Adam thus represents the way humanity became conscious of good and evil.
good postBut are these symbolizations that we are attributing to adam and eve now the symbolizations that were in the minds of the people who wrote the book of genesis 3,500 years ago?
Is there any proof that adam symbolized the heavenly spirit 1-2-3 thousand years ago?
Isn't the purpose in the minds of the authors more important than the perspectives we add to the stories in this case?
Cauae if we can just change the meaning behind the stories in the torah/bible/koran as we grow and learn as a society, than the answer to that question becomes we created god instead of god creating us.
