Discussions get quite deep in the literature, but I think there is excessive bias and willful ignorance. The church fathers shouldn’t be naively trusted, like on gospel authorship. I think the discussions of the origins of Luke-Acts were overly credulous. And, sorry, the creator of the universe did not speak to two humans named Adam and Eve. It’s allegory, borrowed from other ANE myths. But if the ultimate goal is apologetics, well, I guess that makes sense of it all.
