firstly, the snake taunted adam and eve with a apple from the tree in the garden of eden, correct? the garden of eden "was" located in israel, which is near the mediterranean. . . . .apples DO NOT grow in the mediterranean....
secondly, at one point there was only cain, able and adam and eve, so think about this, where did cain's wife come from?
i will become a christian right now if someone answers that question for me, to this day no one can answer it, it was used in the Scopes Trial (1925). NO ONE CAN ANSWER IT, where did she come from.
So seeing as how not even the biggest christian can answer this question, i will have to say there is no way to defend the biblical record. . . .
discuss.

Faith: strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.
not sure where else this debate/thread can go... but I understand the questioning. I do it from time to time... I find when I have faith and pray I feel better about things in general, I guess to me that is more important then trying to be the guy who can debunk particular aspects of religion. Religion in general helps and hurts equally I think... I guess it all depends on which side of the equation you fall into.
