Bible’s claim that Adam and Eve knew God clashes with the lack of monotheism among early humans.

The Bible's claim that Adam and Eve knew God from the very start is falsified by history, making their story a man-made invention rather than a revelation. If indeed these so-called first humans did exist and knew one God directly, as in Genesis, then monotheism would have been the default human belief from the beginning. Instead, the first evidence of spirituality—tens of thousands of years ago—sees humanity worshiping collections of nature spirits, ghostly ancestors, or huge pantheons, as in the case of ancient Mesopotamia, with no mention of a single god. Monotheism does not appear until much later, associated with specific cultures like the Hebrews, several thousand years after man set foot on the planet. This dissonant difference between the biblical chronology and the random, diverse evolution of belief suggests Adam and Eve are not historical figures but a created tale, invented to give a new religion a creation myth.
