The basis of the Christian doctrine - the Bible - is so complex and multifaceted that for many centuries attempts to interpret it theological and secular have not stopped.
In the first chapter of Genesis, verse 27, on the sixth Day of Creation, says:
“And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
And further, verse 28:
"And God blessed them, and God said to them: be fruitful and multiply …".
It is important here that man is precisely created, that is, in modern terms, materialized by the power of God's thought on the sixth Day of Creation and blessed to be fruitful and multiply. Nothing is said about the appearance of Adam in the verses dedicated to the Days of Creation. The identification of Adam with the first created man is untenable, since God created both man and woman at the same time and, in addition, blessed them to be fruitful and multiply, which He did not do with Adam and Eve. From this, two important conclusions follow:
1. Adam was not the first person on earth.
2. Man, created by God, and his descendants are free from original sin, since they did not violate God's will in this regard.

The presence on earth of created man and his descendants is confirmed in chapter 4. It tells that Cain, after his exile, settled in the land of Nod and married an inhabitant of this land; which could only be a descendant of created man. Verse 16 says: “And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod …” And further, in verse 17: “And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived and bore Enoch. Probably, there were already many descendants of created man, since Cain even built a whole city for them.
The creation of Adam in chapter 2 is described as follows:
"… There was no man to cultivate the land" (verse 7). This can be understood to mean that there was already a man, but there was no man-farmer.
“And the Lord God created man from the dust of the earth, and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul” (verse 7). This can be interpreted as follows: God did not create this person, but created from an inanimate substance (molded from clay?), By the way, it is not specified in whose image and likeness, then he added something to him (“breathed the breath of life”), and only after this did the “product” become a human being, but, as we will see later, with limited capabilities. It can be assumed that the model for the created man was created man, since, as can be seen from the further description, the mixed marriages of their descendants were quite consistent with intraspecific marriages. The creative activity of God is explained in verse 8: "And the Lord God planted a paradise (garden) in Eden in the east, and placed there the man whom he created."
Pay attention: God placed in paradise not the created man, but exactly the one whom He created. This is reflected even more clearly in verse 15: "And the Lord God took the man (whom he had created) and placed him in the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it." Analyzing this text in categories that are understandable to a modern person, we can make the following conclusion: the creation of a specialized robot gardener is described here, which includes two stages - making an inanimate model and animating it using loading ("breathed in the breath of life") of a certain control program. This conclusion is even more emphasized by the fact that in this case a truncated program was "loaded" in which the reproduction routine was blocked. Actually, this blocking served as the development of further events. In some interpretations of the Bible, the concepts of “create” and “create” are involuntarily or consciously identified, which leads to confusion in the timing and ways of the appearance of man and Adam. However, the Monk Seraphim Slobodskoy, referring to the Hebrew synonyms of these words "bar" - to receive from nothing, to create and "ass" - to make from available material, to create, - convincingly proves their fundamental difference.
Eve's creation requires no comment. In modern terms, this procedure can be considered as highly efficient cloning with gender reassignment, which in modern concepts is already considered real.
However, neither Adam nor Eve are fully human during their stay in the Garden of Eden, since their reproduction routine is blocked. This is where the Serpent (in the modern sense - a hacker) appears, distorting God's plan. He did nothing supernatural, he simply persuaded Eve (and therefore Adam) to enter into the control program a certain key, allegorically called the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which unlocked the reproduction routines. This disobedience to God's instructions brought God's wrath on Adam and Eve, but at the same time led to their almost complete identification with created man, except for the curse of original sin, which, in fairness, should apply only to Adam and Eve, as well as to their descendants.
The above analysis of the biblical text allows us to draw the following conclusions:
- The first man on earth was created man.
- Adam was created later and was a humanoid specialized (for agriculture, gardening) robot-android.
- In relation to original sin, modern humanity is divided into two groups - the descendants of created man, who are not responsible for him, and mixed descendants of created man and created man, the degree of responsibility of which is almost impossible to determine. “Pure” descendants of a person created on the basis of the biblical text simply do not exist. As for the "later" and "arbitrary" insertions, I would like to note the following: either we consider the Bible to be completely dictated by God, regardless of the identity of the scribe and the time of dictation, or we consider it as a work of fiction. In the first case, editing it is simply blasphemy; in the second, it does not deserve such a detailed interpretation. If its content is combined, then we, of course, lack knowledge,necessary to separate one from the other.
