text: 2 part question- part 1- any christians out there, do you believe the story of adam and eve as absolute fact? do you take the story as a complete truth, i.e. that within the last 10,000 years man was "created" and we are all direct decendants of adam and eve? a little searching would have given you the results too.  sadly 45-55% of american believe that.  i also included a link to an article that helps outline four of the dominant viewpoints.  "...in a harris poll conducted in june, 55% of 1,000 adults surveyed said children should be taught creationism and intelligent design along with evolution in public schools. the same poll found that 54% did not believe humans had developed from an earlier species--up from 45% with that view in 1994--although other polls have not detected this rise.
