Your logic fails you. To say that the scriptural picture of creation may not be literal is not the same as saying there is no person referred to as Adam. Some theologists think that Adam was the first person to evolve a full capacity for moral comprehension. Also the genealogy uses a convention where only significant characters were named. There may be thousands of generations missing, yet YECs use this to date the earth. How utterly absurd.
It's obvious those theologist are incorrect as they try to twist scripture to form a view supporting the religion of evolutionism.
Besides those two verses, you know....Eve being formed from Adams rin and the geneology...there is more that tells us Genesis is literal.
1CO 15:45 So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
1CO 15:46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
1CO 15:47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
and then....
1TI 2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
There's even a few more verses that present a literal Genesis.
Once again, the bible denies evolutionism.
Oh, BTW, you said "There may be thousands of generations missing"...care to back up that "may be' statement?
