Early Life and Education

Adam is used both as the name of humanity in general and its first man in particular. It derives from Hebrew Adm (‘adam), meaning to become reddened or Akkadian adamu meaning to make.

According to the Old Testament, Adam was created by God and lived happily in Eden until he and Eve ate from a forbidden tree, leading them to leave paradise and live instead in eastern lands where they gave birth to Cain, Abel, and Seth.

Numerous scientific studies confirm Adam and Eve as historical figures. While some critics may claim they are mythological or allegorical figures, the Bible affirms their existence and that they were created by an all-loving God.
