Were Adam and Eve the first two people on Earth?

Questioner: Would you believe that Adam and Eve were the first people to be born on earth?

Huzoor (rh): Were what? The first people?

Questioner: Yes.

Huzoor (rh): They were not the first human beings. They were the first human beings… Now, let’s say Adam was the first human being who had developed enough and who was pious and good enough in his habits and way of life to be chosen as a representative of God on earth on whom God could trust to deliver his message with fidelity. So, that is why he is mentioned as the first man. Not the first man in his physical being, but the first man in his spiritual being. You understand the message?

Questioner: Yes.

Huzoor (rh): Good.

Questioner: Thank you.

Huzoor (rh): You’re welcome.
