Has the FamilySearch website been hacked?
I have suddenly discovered that my family tree goes all the way back to Adam and Eve!

It looks like another user has been working on your branch and linked it to one he is working on that, further back, he has assumed to have found a route back to Adam and Eve!
Check the change logs for your known ancestors and you should be able to find the name of the user who is responsible for your now being connected to what many consider are our common ancestors. When you find the name, you can click on the link that will enable you to "Chat" with who has created this unexpected path of ancestry for you. Perhaps you may then wish to advise him or her that - even accepting they were historical figures - there is no way any of us today can prove any ancestry going back that far.
There are very few individuals living in England who can offer proof of an ancestral line going back to 1066, let alone thousands of years B.C.E.

You're so lucky <smirk>. When new.familysearch came out, the kids played with our family line to see how far back it went. We only made it back to one of Noah's children.
And this is why I'm not a fan of the "famous relatives" features. I'm sure it's a great way to start some family folklore. ('but FamilySearch <i>says</i> we're related to …………………)
