Question 1 of 5:

Why is Adam’s existence essential to the Gospel according to Romans 5?

Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Romans 5 sets up the direct contrast between Adam’s disobedience (bringing sin and death) and Christ’s obedience (bringing righteousness and life). If Adam wasn’t real, Paul’s Gospel argument loses its foundation.

Question 2 of 5:

How does the New Testament connect Adam to Jesus?

Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Paul repeatedly ties Adam’s one act of sin to Christ’s one act of obedience (Romans 5; 1 Corinthians 15). This connection highlights that the need for salvation is universal, and Jesus alone undoes Adam’s curse.

Question 3 of 5:

What theological problem arises if Adam never existed as a real person?

Correct Answer: C
Explanation: If not all humans come from Adam, then not all are “in Adam.” That undermines Paul’s teaching that Christ’s work applies to all who descended from Adam. A real Adam secures the universality of both sin and redemption.

Question 4 of 5:

How does Adam’s role help us understand the Old Testament story of humanity?

Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The Old Testament narrative—from the Fall to the Flood to Babel—makes sense only if humanity truly began with a first couple who sinned. Adam’s disobedience explains why every generation needs redemption.

Question 5 of 5:

Why do some modern theologians and scientists try to reinterpret Adam?

Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Many scholars who accept old-earth geology or evolutionary theory struggle to reconcile those beliefs with Genesis. This leads to alternate views of Adam (e.g., mythological, genealogical), but these reinterpretations weaken the biblical foundation of the Gospel.

Is humanity the result of millions of years of evolution—or the direct creation of a single man, formed from the dust by God Himself?

The debate over Adam isn’t just academic—it strikes at the heart of where we came from, who we are, and why the Gospel matters.

Join Eric Hovind for a conversation with Dr. Marcus Ross, a Harvard-trained paleontologist and respected creation scientist. We will dive into the powerful case for Adam as a real, historical person—not a myth, metaphor, or evolutionary placeholder.

After all, If Adam never existed, what does that mean for the rest of the Bible?
