Adam and Eve or a barrel o' monkeys?

The basic jist of the question is, did humanity descend from one male and one female, or did a population of primates evolve into humans.

Basically, is Adam your only daddy?

Read the question more carefully. It's a subsection of evolution. The question is not whether God made people or people evolved. The question is whether people evolved from two ancestors or a population. It's a very different question.

Hmm... I had hoped people would actually say something rather than just hit up the poll. Still, I find it amusing that right now as many people profess to believe that Adam was a man with a harem of monkeys as any other option.

If given a joke option most will take it.

Or people could have selected that option because they had interpreted it to mean creationism (Adam) and evolution (Harem). Alternativly Adam could represent an alien who breed with monkeys making us, and that all intelligent life (apparently us) on Earth was seeded.

It was Adam and Eve, that is what the Bible says so it must be true.
