'All human beings are descendants of Adam' is not false.
Yes it is. Adam from the Jewish/Christian creation story is a fictional character in a just-so type of story. He has no real descendants.
How we know it is fiction: Talking snake, magic trees, people made from dirt, God discussions, etc.

Well, I got your point.
So, if I revise may statement and say "We are all descendants of a single human being," does evolutionary evidence contradict my statement?
That changes the topic of the thread. If that's what you wanted to debate, then you should have worded it that way.
So what's your point if it does or doesn't?

No Answer

My bad.
But you are avoiding the answer
I didn't avoid answering. I deliberately didn't answer the question. As I said, you changed the topic. My position deals with Adam of the Bible. You've eliminated that from your question, so I have nothing to add to this thread.
