It is SO SAD to see men of God, theologians, self-professing Christians who DOUBT the very Word of God in the name of "science" or "worldly wisdom" despite the plain & clear teaching of the Bible. Not that I look down on "science" or "worldly wisdom"... but I do feel like bashing these men "lovingly" :)
So is Adam a true historical figure - the VERY first man God created as per described in Genesis? The Adam who was mentioned repeatedly by Lord Jesus, by the Apostles throughout the NT?
Is this belief or faith in the existence of a historical Adam important? MUCH MORE than most would realise. It isn't hard to imagine once we start to allegorise Adam, we will soon start to allegorise the accounts of Creation itself? Sodom & Gomorrah? Cain & Abel? Noah? Abraham? Moses? Jonah? Or even Jesus? Before long, the whole Bible starts to read more like a mythological book written by men who were trying to find meaning to their existence in this unfamiliar universe...
U don't think so? Look around u... there are plenty of such "churches/christians" around today...
Sometimes, child-like faith is good. Very good.
At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;
(Mat 11:25)
