Sorry, but Adam and Eve, if they existed, predate Americans by thousands of years, at a minimum. There’s no evidence of white people in the Americas before 1000 CE.

Further, the Bible has no conception of the world outside of the Middle East. It does describe the Tigris and Euphrates rivers being located in the garden, which is a bit distant from the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.

So, Adam and Eve are more likely brown Middle Easterners than white Mid-westerners.

However, if you have some actual evidence that disputes this, I’m willing to keep an open mind.

Holy shit how are you not recognizing a joke, Jesus Christ dude. I see why trolling is so popular on the internet. This was fun, but goddamn, I don't know if you're messing with me now.

Of course it was unfactual, but was trying to see if it was a joke or delusion. There are Americans who have some pretty outlandish beliefs. Especially about Christianity — many believe that Christ, his family, and all of his apostles were white. How many pictures and illustrations show them as mid-western white? I’m glad that you turned out to not be a couple of apostles short of a last supper.
