Adam and Eve Myth Debated by Sermon Criticizing Biblical Fall
In New York a heated discussion follows Rev Dr Minot J Savage’s sermon at Hebert Collyer’s arch, arguing that the Adam and Eve story is a pagan myth. He cites Hebrew and prophets, claims no reference to the Fall exists in ancient texts, and asserts science shows humanity’s long history and evolution beyond earlier beliefs. The sermon dismisses the traditional Eden tale as untrue and incompatible with modern understanding.
