Sorry, Jason, I didn't even notice this post until I saw Jersey Girl responding to it later in the thread.
If you go back a few pages, I think you'll find I did at least attempt to respond to your question about Adam and Eve, the Fall and the resulting need for a Savior/messiah. I pointed you in the direction of some entries from the Jewish Encyclopedia to (1) demonstrate to you that one doesn't need to have a Christian perspective to believe there was a Fall, requiring a messiah (since Jews also believe this), and (2) demonstrate to you that belief in "Adam" and "Eve" is not necessarily belief in two particular individuals who had those names, but can be construed as a more generic belief in "first parents," at the beginning of recorded human history.
Maybe none of that helped you. But I did try to respond to your question, whether it was helpful or not.

Edited to add: I went to the entry on "Adam" in the Catholic Encyclopedia and found this, which you might find interesting (I recommend reading the entire article for context of the comments, but this paragraph was noteworthy in light of the previous post I made to you regarding the Jewish Encyclopedia entries):
It is a well-known fact that, partly from a desire to satisfy pious curiosity by adding details to the too meagre biblical accounts, and partly with ethical intent, there grew up in later Jewish as well as in early Christian and Mohammedan tradition a luxuriant crop of legendary lore around the names of all the important personages of the Old Testament. It was therefore only natural that the story of Adam and Eve should receive special attention and be largely developed by this process of embellishment. These additions, some of which are extravagant and puerile, are chiefly imaginary, or at best based on a fanciful understanding of some slight detail of the sacred narrative. Needless to say that they do not embody any real historic information, and their chief utility is to afford an example of the pious popular credulity of the times as well as of the slight value to be attached to the so-called Jewish traditions when they are invoked as an argument in critical discussion. Many rabbinical legends concerning our first parents are found in the Talmud, and many others were contained in the apocryphal Book of Adam now lost, but of which extracts have come down to us in other works of a similar character (see MAN). The most important of these legends, which it is not the scope of the present article to reproduce, may be found in the Jewish Encyclopedia, I, art. "Adam", and as regards the Christian legends, in Smith and Wace, Dictionary of Christian Biography, s.v.
