ZekeSr:
I seem to remember Ray briefly addressing the subject/premise of people being here before Adam. And I also seem to remember that he stated it concurred with Scripture.

Perhaps the most direct example, but not the only indication, is Cain being in fear for his life as he roamed the earth after killing Abel:
Gen 4:14 Behold! You have driven me out from the face of the earth today, and I shall be hidden from Your face. And I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth, and it shall be that anyone who finds me shall kill me.
Gen 4:15 And Jehovah said to him, therefore whoever kills Cain shall be avenged seven times. And Jehovah set a mark upon Cain so that anyone who found him should not kill him.

But I also know there is Scripture relating us all back to Adam and Eve. And I kind of remember Ray making that point, too.
Can anyone shed some light on the subject or reference where I can locate it on this site? I find it extremely fascinating, yet confusing.

Gen 3:20  And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Rotherham has an interesting translaton:

(Rotherham)  So the man called the name of his wife, Eve,—in that, she, was made mother of every one living.

Mat 8:22  But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

If real science says man has been here 50k years then we should consider that to be true. The bible and true science do not disagree.

Well, I would say Adam and Eve were not the first people since Adam had undoubtedly a father and a mother, unless God lies (absolutly not!), for Adam had to leave them to marry Eve:
Genesis 2:24 «  That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh »

Prune Soleiado:
If you read Luke 3:23-38, you can notice that we are given a SPIRITUAL genealogy with this accuracy: ADAM IS A SON OF GOD. (Verse 38).
Matthew 1:1-16 gives us a PHYSICAL genealogy as well as in the book of Genesis: Adam is the father of Seth.
In Luke 3 :23, Jesus is NOT the physical son of Joseph « AS WAS SUPPOSED ».
So I would read Genesis 2:7 as a sort of « explanation » onto HOW Adam became a Son of God, a SPIRITUAL SON.
 Then in Luke 3, we can read all the spiritual line of descent God has begotten.
It is obvious to me, by the light of this spiritual genealogy, that Adam, and Eve, were not the first to inhabit the earth, they had relatives, neighbours etc for:
1Corinthians 15:46  « The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual »
Meaning they had to be given birth in the flesh first to be begotten a new in the same spiritual way God creates His children, us, with a new spirit, a new heart and later a new body.
I see Genesis 2:4-25 as the Judgement and Salvation of God onto Adam and Eve, since « ALL IS ONE ».
What do you think?
For the Glory Of God throught Christ. Michelle.

Hi Michelle,
Well wait a moment. If Adam had a human father and a human mother...then where did they come from?
Somewhere in his ancestry there had to be a first cause of human or sentient flesh to begin the process didn't there?
Bob

Also in chpt 2 verse 21 it says that God took Eve out of Adam's side. So where do you suppose her Mother and Father originated?
