A puzzle current in some philosophical
circles involves an eccentric billionaire who offers you a million
dollars if you come to believe that there is a greatest prime number.
This is, of course, a little challenging for you, knowing as you do
Euclid’s proof that there are infinitely many primes.

Doctrinal Adam & Eve and Genetic Adam & Eve
Many of
those who believe that the Book of Genesis is divinely inspired also
believe in evolution, and, in particular, in the descent of humankind
from earlier species going all the way back to the unicellular. “God
behind evolution” and “guided evolution” are popular ways of
expressing their view. Most of these believers take the Adam and Eve
story to be a myth, albeit a myth bearing important spiritual truth.
Some, however, take Adam and Eve to be actual, particular persons,
even though they had biological parents. How well does this sit with
the science of human pre-history?
