He is a mythological figure. He never really existed. It is just one of the many stories Man created on why we are here. They wanted explanations for the world they saw around them. What is sad is that you want everyone to believe stories from women/men thousands of years ago rather then learn from women/men today who have better knowledge and evidence to back them up.
I feel strongly that Christians who may be accepting of what you imagine as "scientific knowledge", have totally overlooked this simple revealing revelation. What goes concerning Adam would fit the logic for a perfect ecological system to support Adam and Eve.
Perhaps you should talk to them and see what they believe and why.
How do you know Noah was mythological? Who told you that? And since you chose to speak for "other" Christians, I thought you actually had something more than hearsay to offer.

Bump for The Nipster...
The re-establishment of the nation of Israel as prophesied would definetly happen according to the Bible. This seemed an unlikey fable during the reign of Hitler. But God turned it around and made Hitler the catalyst --- turning evil into good --- another very unlikey reality. Before 1948 most would have considered such an event supernatural if it happened at all.

What? You think the nation of Israel ceased to be established and that Hitler's actions helped to re-establish it? And that was God pulling the strings? Really?

What don't you get? There was no nation of Israel from about 72 AD until 1948. Hitler tried to exterminate the Jews. If there was no God the Jews would have likely been destroyed centuries ago if not during World War II. God has stated in His Word that the Nation of Israel would be dispersed and then it would be brought back together as a nation in the later days. HOWEVER, the Bible also clearly says that the children of Israel, the Jews, the Hebrews, would never be destroyed, and any nation which tries to curse the Jews would become cursed.
