It's how people lived out of necessity for a long time and rural areas have simply not caught up to the modern world (a whole other discussion as to why that is)
Yes, but Christianity (and any number of other religions) has given a MASSIVE weight to the opinions of cultural plebes who raised and ****ed sheep for a living that is completely illogical when you take into account that these people did not even survive long enough to know what AOL was. The opinions of the people who wrote the Bible, the Torah, the Quran, etc-many-non-Abrahamic-religious-books, would have as much direct weight as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle on modern humans (none) if they were not considered religious. But since they are religious, they get to have their opinions cared about for no apparent reason and therefore Adam and Steve.
