Was Adam Packin' Heat?

Because of the meanings of the words, it is obvious that the story of Genesis was not literal, but was an allegory.

He provided Adam with male genitalia because He knew that He would later create Eve.

That way leads to madness, amateurs should stay away from trying to figure out Hebrew (or indeed, make stuff up).

A question for the literalists --
Did Adam have twigs and berries beneith his fig leaf?Here's why I ask...Adam was created in God's image, but why would God, a unique being, have genitalia?

This is nonsense.

Again you bring up subjects that you cannot even define.
Theistic evolution makes no claim or has no condition that necessitates Adam being the first species of man. The bible doesn't say anything about "Adamites" either.It might be worth your while to learn that there are vastly more than 22 species of hominids.
