Christianity Today searches for a historical Adam and Eve. Philosophy professor Michael Ruse tries to reconcile theology with science:
When did a Nobel Prize winner ever change his or her mind in the face of a reinterpretation of the Trinity? It may be true that this is a one-way process, but in no way does this imply that theology is inferior. The changes are part of theology. If we are made in the image of God (and Augustine was right here), then we have the power of reason and the ability to learn and understand the world that God created. We have the ability and the obligation. This means doing science, however uncomfortable it may be.
Russell Blackford and Jerry Coyne critique the logic.
