Many Adam under the sky
Many Adam under the sky
Adam is a figure in the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible, from where he was adopted into Christian belief and the Quran. According to the creation myth of the Abrahamic religions, he was the first man. In both Genesis and Quran, Adam and his wife were expelled from a Garden of Eden for eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Various forms of creationism and biblical literalism consider Adam to be a historical person. Scientific evidence does not support the idea that the entire human population descends from a single man.
The word adam is also used in the Bible as a pronoun, individually as “a human” and in a collective sense as “mankind”. Biblical Adam (man, mankind) is created from adamah (earth), and Genesis 1–8 makes considerable play of the bond between them, for Adam is estranged from the earth through his disobedience.
How does a scriptwriter react to the misadventures he has always only imagined?
Adam, who has fled from his country (in our comic it is for political reasons, but it can be changed), has to learn how to survive in a primitive and hostile environment.
The classic fugitive scenario but, being a normal person, he has to deal with situations by drawing on to his cultural background (films/books/comics) rather than using muscle power.
