They were created by God and lived in the Garden of Eden until they disobeyed God and were banished. Their story symbolizes the beginning of human life on earth in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions. 2. Botany: It's a common name for a variety of orchid known scientifically as "Aplectrum hyemale". It's a North American orchid which blooms in the spring and forms a pair of oval leaves in the autumn.

Examples of adam-and-eve in a Sentence

  1. Nathan Lents:

    I would not say that there is any evidence, historical or scientific,in favorof the existence of Adam and Eve, as they are presented in the Bible, however, there have been developments in our understanding of ancestry and genetics that allow for the possibility of universal ancestors of the entire human population in the surprisingly recent past.

  2. Mark Twain:

    Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principle one was that they escaped teething.

  3. Joshua Swamidass:

    Most readers of Genesis understood Adam and Eve to be (1) ancestors of us all, and (2) miraculously created without parents of their own, in contrast, evolution teaches that (3) we share common ancestors with apes, and (4) we arise from a large population, not a single couple. This conflict of fact onlyseemed solvable by revising foundational Christian theological beliefs, or by rejecting evolution.

  4. Dale Bumpers:

    The The House managers have said shame and embarrassment is no excuse for lying. Well, the question about lying, that's your decision. But I can tell you, you put yourself in President Clinton position, and you've already had this big moral lapse, as to what you would do. We are -- none of us are perfect. Sure, you say, President Clinton should have thought of all that beforehand. And indeed President Clinton should. Just as Adam and Eve should have. Just as you and you and you and you, and millions of other people who have been caught in similar circumstances should have thought of it before. And I say none of us are perfect.

  5. Joshua Swamidass:

    But now, clearing up some big scientificunderstandings, we know that all four of these things can be true at the same time, even if Adam and Eve lived as recently as just 6,000 years ago, they would be the genealogical ancestors of everyoneacross the globe by AD 1. They could even have been created de novo, from the dust and a rib. Of course, atthe same time, we would also descend from people outside the Garden, otherswhom God created by a providentially governed process of evolution.
