I am in the camp of being very fundamental, no doubt about it: But on this one point, I do believe that they could have been allegorical. ON the other hand every generation is listed in the bible from their generation. But God could have chosen this point in time to record history and to bring about the dispensations of his dealing with the generations on the earth.
More specifically Adam and Eve could have been all about God's attempt to reach out to fallen mankind and for him to establish a people on the earth who would call upon His name.

There is a man named in Genesis 10 whose name was Eber and having a son Peleg during whose lifetime the earth was divided, meaning the continents. At the least there were a time of geological upheaval on the earth at this time like the earth has never known.

If you assume that there was one great continent some think that the magnetic field of the earth suddenly shifted and antartica went south tearing the continents apart in a spinning motion similar to a rotating galaxy which has 7 distinct tails. Oil fields have the same formation or any liquid that starts to spin apart, anything in space.

At the very least, its amazing that if indeed it really happened billions of years earlier and the earth is 4.5 billion years old, so we are a relatively young planet, that the bible refers to the division of the continents, or division of something geological at that time.

You have to admit it is interesting ! In Christ Gregor.
