Most likely both Adam & Eve did, enjoy childhood.

God, as Creator for sure, knows

If you take Gen 1+2 by word: Likely, no, unless the writer left something out.

But thisistin is a fundamental christian viewpoint that is not taken by most christians. (I know that the american-style chistianity of the conservative side is pretty vocal about their views, but it shouldn't be forgotten that they do not make up the majority world-wide or even in the US.)

This is just as productive as the question if they had a navel.

Hello to the 3 of you who've responded to my question so far as to if Adam and Eve had a childhood...Thank you all especially to Cran who offered me a Bible perspective in Gen: 1&2, I would like to know if there is anything else in the Bible which might give us an idea to my question, or anyone's original idea other than the Bibles.

Thank you again

Sincerely

Donna Thompson

Hi Donna,
I sincerely believe that Adam & Eve did enjoy childhood;
due to the fact that God/Jesus told us in Matthew18:3:
"Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, & become as
little children,
you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven."
Jesus repeatedly tells of the significance of "little";
and all the exceptional-qualities of little-children, &
for good reasons. -
Most adults, don't remember, how to live... as a little-child;
& GOD/Jesus spent his time with children often.

Little-children, esteemed highest by God, therefore -
most likely Adam & Eve did enjoy childhood,
for a time in the Garden-of-Eden.

Enjoy a wonderful day, Donna

My church, which preached an inerrant Bible and literal interpretation thereof, taught that they were created as adults.

I think you're taking it far too literally.
