Philosophical-Scientific Reflections on the Creation of Adam (AS): A Critical Inquiry into Philosophical and Atheistic Doubts in Light of Interdisciplinary Approaches

This article presents a profound and critical study on the story of the creation of Adam (AS), adopting an interdisciplinary and comprehensive approach to analyze the philosophical, scientific, and theological dimensions of this foundational narrative. This research aims, by relying on robust and documented arguments and utilizing the valid achievements of human knowledge, to provide illuminating and convincing responses to a wide range of philosophical and atheistic doubts that have historically targeted this religious narrative. By deeply investigating novel and pivotal ideas in Process Philosophy with an emphasis on Whitehead's works, Complexity Theory and the phenomenon of emergence, Evolutionary Theism with a contemporary and critical perspective, Neuroscience and the latest findings of Consciousness Studies, and comparative analysis of world mythologies with a Jungian approach, the article argues that the story of Adam (AS) is not only inconsistent with the fundamental principles of rationality and the definitive achievements of science, but also possesses a remarkable capacity to enrich our understanding of human nature, their place in being, and their relationship with the divine. While elaborating on the strengths of its arguments, this research does not shy away from critically engaging with the potential weaknesses and limitations of its approach, and ultimately emphasizes that understanding the story of Adam (AS) as a comprehensive and multilayered model can provide a suitable platform for dialogue, interaction, and synergy between science, faith, and the quest for meaning in the contemporary intellectual landscape.
