These primitive abhrahamic poems are meaningless to eastern religions.

the primitive abrahamic poem of adam and eve and the garden of eden and the 6 day creation concept and the flood myth (noah's ark crap) are all identically stolen from sumerian legends like enuma elish and gilgamesh. pre exilic judaism borrows heavily from iraq and egypt with some masalla from abraham and moses, where as post exilic judaism and the latter part of the talmud (called the Gemara if i recall right, the first part being the Mishnah) borrow heavily from the pharisees, the people of iran.
btw the arabic cum hindi word called "admi" meaning male, is derived from adam or whatever is the hebrew/semitic word for adam.
