exactly, so it was about a "father".....as i said before, in scripture Adam has always been described as the first man and we are descendants of him.
When i was at school the teachers (Catholic) would teach that the story of Adam was symbolic, but from my understanding its a factual event in one form or another, because us descending from him can't really be symbolic if we are physical and not symbolic ourselves! Also the Qur'aan recounts the making of Adam as an event in the Heavens with the Angels and Iblis bearing witness:
In addition a Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (saws) says:
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 543:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutations of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace and Allah's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam's salutation the expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation.
60 CUBITS is approx. 90 metres....that might explain some of the "giants" legends...

Ive yet to see the Bible account on this, but to my understanding Adams wife was created from him....thats where you get "Adam's rib" saying from.....about his sons and such, i have no knowledge on this i can remember so i cant answer that.

The Jews also boasted about killing him, but they were decieved, and they ended up decieving the Christians about it too... looking at the accounts from Christian scholars look at the arguements, there is a good one here, from a mini book written about the alledged death and resurrection:

My point was with your issue of the Israelites being God's "chosen" and this whole issue of "god's bloodline" .......this is a bad ideology, and leads to ignorance like the priests had towards Jesus pbuh

well people can invent what is being implied too,
and also make things up which suit them, like how the Jews are the masters of charging interest on others, when its clearly forbidden in their scripture. they interpreted this as only applicable to non-Jews, lol what ignorance....

So it comes from an interpretation of Christ scriptures, but i think you'd be very naive to think they havent been tampered with.
