Go to any good natural history museum and see dinosaur skeletons bigger than double decker buses and have a think about the Adam and Eve story. I think Adam is briefy mentioned as Baba Adam in one bani but in the same way Indra, Vishnu etc. etc. are.

I am writing as an Sikh philosopher having been brought up in a Sikh enviornment at home . Wether this is enough to label it as a Sikh philosophy point of view I am not sure of it.


As a Sikh philosphers I feel that this is an interesting hypotheses but needs to be still backed up by our todays line of thinking the so called scientific evidence.

There is a possibility that this is a corollary of our sensory perception where all living systems and any things associated with

classically divided into three cycles :-

birth
growth
death


May be it has some thing to do with these words.

I feel that the word Timelessness describes life the best

" It was always there , it is there , and it shall always be there "
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/interfaith-dialogues/8934-what-does-sikhism-say-about-adam.html

ie summed up as equating GOD and its creations with timelessness the so called " akhalpurkh "


So live life to its fullest form you shall never die in a certian sense.

To understand it one need to have good knowldfe of Holy Kuran and Holy Bible.

No, you just have to know a well-placed metaphor when you see one.

That entire passage is just a very poetic way to say that God exists within all men.

I would like to add more that ADAM OR EVE is somethign related to SAMAJ.
I mean since SAMAJ-SURT actualy took place by nature thru a long time period after existance of Universe is actualy is said to be ADAM - man or woman finding the feelings of responsibility.

Dear Vijaydeep Singh


Thanks for the above verse

In this verse Bhagat kabir has used bekief system of both Muslim and hindu people to give his message of accepting Akals will and as MAX mention to say that god exist in all

Kabir Ji has stressed in Rahao Pankati :
ਮਜਲਸਿ ਦੂਰਿ ਮਹਲੁ ਕੋ ਪਾਵੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
मजलसि दूरि महलु को पावै ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
majlas door mahal ko paavai. ||1|| rahaa-o.
His Court is so far away; only a rare few attain the Mansion of His Presence. ||1||Pause||


Raising a query and then answering at the end as Accepting Akal 's will

To understand it one need to have good knowldfe of Holy Kuran and Holy Bible.

In islam : there is belief of Savaa Lakh Rasool ( 1 lakh 25 thousand prophet and Prohet Muhammed to be the last )
I Hindu faith : 84 lakh junes / life menefestaion .
33 crores Devi / Devtas or Demi gods

Dear all
about Adam and Eve.... I am not a philosopher or a scholar, but as I see the old Testament in the Bible..... mankind originate only about 6000 years ago whereas there is scientific proof and even mythological proof that mankind has been long before this time.... Talk about 4 yugas which some believe could be as long 125000 years and most agree that it is only 2500 years.... that would mean at least 9000 years.... again, Bible mentions that God created the whole creation in 6 days and rested on the 4th....... which we all know from scientific facts and from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji ( I can't give you the parmans) that the creation has been there for much longer and took a longtime to evolve...... so what I am driving at is the metaphoric language used.... Adam and Eve could be humanity (Satyug) and that I think holds water, for when Cain (Adam's son who killed Able, another son) was banished , he went to another place and got married obviously to a woman, who must be existing somewhere where he went (another nation).... so that means Eve was not just the only woman created.... and if she was the only woman created then Cain would not be able to find another woman as Adam and Eve only had two sons and there were no more humans... so it means humanity of the Satyug ...i believe...
