That's interesting - I've never heard of Adam and Eve not being real. I'd be interested to hear the argument. Some counter thoughts: If Adam and Eve are just an allegory who were the 1st humans? Where does the bloodline originate? If they're an allegory isn't their entire bloodline? Including Christ himself?... I absolutely believe they were real and agree with your statement about them being a part of the reason behind Christ's sacrifice.
I took Old Testament studies at a Catholic college, taught by a Catholic priest, some thirty-eight years ago. He taught that the creation account, Adam and Eve, and Noah's flood were essentially mythical. So this has been the position of some within the church for a good many years. Possibly it is a view held by many priests.
Have you heard of evolution? 
In liberal seminaries, I believe, the common position is that Adam and Eve are mythical beings.

Zeus and Hera, nor Akhenaton and Nefertiti, nor An and Ki.
All of the ancient civilizations were aware of the first man and woman.
They worshipped them and their progeny as gods.

I've heard this nonsense that Adam and Eve weren't real but in my mind it's a load of bollocks. How far do we take the mythical concept of truth? What stops a person from saying that Jesus wasn't God's Son, who he says he was? Reason is great but if you believe God's Word is Truth, you'll eventually discover that somethings just need to be taken on faith.
I saw a documentary that said Adam and Eve were space aliens.
It must be true, it was on the science channel.
Surely the science channel wouldn't just make things up.
Surely they wouldn't hammer unproven theories and pseudoscience together into a documentary just for ratings and money.
Surely not.
And while we're on the topic of "surely nots"...
Surely no lost men would go to a liberal seminary, where nobody believes the bible, and get degrees in theology they don't believe, just so they can get ordained and have a nice cushy job running a church somewhere.
Surely not.
