Myths

The concept of myth was invented long, long after Adam and Eve.

You turned God into a journalist reporting from the field and you are essentially asking from which period in the reports the reports are reliable.

Shlomo, Rabbi Kasher has an excellent article with fascinating sources on this. Send me an email and I'll send it to you. giladstn@gmail.com Also a few things by Rabbi Gedaliah Nadel in his book, Mekorot Yemibeyiniyem at the end of Klein Barsalvi's book on the Creation of Adam in the Mishnah of Maimonides, published by Reuven Mas, and also for deciphering the code, the commentator Ibn Ezra has some nice ideas. I don't have the time to search now, maybe in the future. The general idea is that Adam and Eve indicate the work of the land and the history (life) of Cain and Abel, the first occupations of the sons of Hadad in raising cattle and agriculture, and the list of generations of Cain and Seth as place names, tribes or eponymous ancestors. Until Noah, this is a mixture of history and mythology, and in fact, we can only speak clearly about history from Abraham onwards as figures who are individual beings and not tribes. Some disagree with this too.
