Maybe Adam is the first man!!

Ricky:
We all know man,the women and the beast were created on the 6th day. He created them male and female. That would be 1 thousand years our time, they were populating the earth. Then God rested on the 7Th day, another thousand years of them populating the planet. So man was doing this for 2 thousand years. What was the world like then, they did not have a Bible from God. And that would mean they had millions of gods, and this world would have been one evil mess of everything. So now what did God do next, after the 7Th day. He decided to change the world with Adam. The very first man of God. This is how we got the Bible through Moses, David,etc. God probably did not create the people on the 6 day the same way He did Adam. We will never know. The 6 day people did not have the spirit of God, Adam did. Cain met his wife outside the garden of Eden that says it all right there. Just my opinion.  Ricky

And a whopper of an opinion you have.

There are not two Scriptures that prove either the 6th day or the 7th day were each 1,000 years long.  In fact, the 7th day did not end-- there is no evening and morning the 7th day.

Then again, all of the creation account could be an allegory, a story.

Whether or not the creation account is literal or a story, we do not know at this time.

The most important things are the great spiritual truths that the creation Scriptures teach us.  Remember Jesus said that His words were spirit.

Hi Ricky,

I believe the story of creation is spoken in allegory terms to hide the meaning and the great truth that lie underneath. But I do think it is a real story and real events, that portray through symbolism God's plan.

There is nothing wrong with looking at scientific studies to gain some information about the past. Archaeologists have dated quite a few digs around the world to put man much further back than a couple thousand years before Adam and Eve.

You wonder what were those pre-Adam people like... well we know quite a lot about native tribes of people that have lived before Christiandom got to them and forced there conversion and change into what they considered acceptable (and, oh yeah, to save their souls from hell). There are even a few left that have not been totally adsorbed into the modern society of today.

Yes I believe that Adam was the start of God revealing Himself to mankind through 'His people." And with Adam it certainly seems to have been a huge jump forward in progress, with agriculture and all other forms of advancement he taught, like farming and mining, which brought about the advancement of the social structure in so many ways. This was the way God brought the world forward into what He had determined for it to be.

mercy, peace and love

I think we are making lots of assumption here without any real proof. Archaeology is filled with imagination and error.
Cain had children, but why not with one of his sisters? Both their genetics were perfect as created by God.
Why must we assume that ADAM became superior to his predecessor in intellect. Is it because of the myth of an unintelligent "ape man" from which mankind developed? Bad logic! Animal life doesn't evolve into superior life forms. If anything animal life remains the same or is degraded in reproduction after origin.

It is just as likely that Adam/Eve were perfect in all their physical attributes and that mankind has deteriorated since that time. It is also likely that humans had a strong curiosity and desire to explore and invent. Why not build small pyramids in the first century, the second etc? They had food and great health and tons of time on their hands. They could produce a new generation every 16 years. Apply logarithmic math to that starting point. Didn't need baby sitters, kids could run loose, food was free, diapers not needed etc. etc.

If Adam had to DEVELOP into a sentient being, what about Jesus the 2nd Adam. Did God have to take time/years to develop a perfect son to become savior? Or did God get it right the first time? I don't see anything in God's autobiography to show that God has to practice or learn how to build a human. I see a lot of evidence that God has to get it right the first time OR it doesn't work at all. God didn't have a "back up plan" in the event Lord Jesus fell short of the glory of God. Right??

What ever God creates is perfect or complete for the task required. Adam was perfect, physically, mentally. Satan was perfect for his assignment too.

Just some thoughts to ponder, Indiana bob

Ricky:
Cain was kicked out of the garden of eden for murdering his brother Able. Cane said this is unbearable they will kill me. Then Cain met his wife, how would that be his sister, and where does the bible say Cain and able had sisters. I cannot believe God would allow incest to happen when there was no need for that. I have always been told that if it is against mans law, it is automaticly against Gods law. Pot being legal now in Colorado, how does they sit with God.
