Not far from what I believe. It seems much more likely than a literal Adam, formed from dust, and a literal Eve, formed from Adam's rib, who literally spoke with a serpent and literally ate the fruit, etc. etc.
But some hard-core literal creationists stick to their guns. Even so far as to say that if Genesis is not literally true, then you can't trust anything else in the Bible.

I believe in the literal Adam and Eve myself as the bible goes to great lengths to describe them as two real people. They also probably walked the Earth somewhere between 12 and 30 thousand years ago -some evidence seems to suggest 30-50 thousand years.
However, I am firmly in the day age camp and watch in sort of sad amusement as the young earth crowd has to do contortion after contortion to fit the geologic and astronomic evidence into a 6 thousand year old Universe.
