but to assume we all descend from just them is unsupported
in Scripture, and also requires magical thinking.
The very phrase "eth ha Adam" indicates other lineages,
to argue the one, and I would just ask you who Cain's
father was, for the other.
I see no problem with telling the A & E story to
children, but imo there is too much meat to be
found by just a little digging for that story to suffice
for a seeker.
A study of
Gen 3:20 "...mother of all the living,"
your only possible foundation, will reveal itself better
in the lexicon. Our common interpretation is ridic on its face:
what, "all the living" as opposed to "all the dead?"
A little seeking leads to finding here.
