I just love the way people like you twist Scripture to say what you want it to say. Adam was the first man created. Eve was the first woman. That's what Scripture says.What does that have to do with what genesis says plain as day about adam being the first human?Correct...the context of the first 3 days of creation is the lack of stars and planets.What? You are CONSTANTLY on here talking about CONTEXTIt’s not plain as day at all.You either ignore what i say or you just say "nu uh"
You STILL ignore the account out of genesis. It is RIGHT THERE PLAIN AS DAY.
If i cant take the bible for what it says, whats the point?
You are stuck on what you have heard since childhood.
Each verse must be taken on its own merit.
So what effect does that have on the duration of the first 3 “days”?
You have failed to show a single verse in Genesis that says Adam was the first man.
What Genesis DOES say is that God made both man and beast in Genesis 1: 25 and 26.
AFTER that seven "day" creation, AFTER man was created... on the EIGHTH "day" in Genesis 2 :5, God decided there was not a "man to till the ground." In verses 7 of Genesis and in verse 8 (chapter 2) God put this man he had formed (not created) into the Garden of Eden.
This "man" mentioned in the second chapter of Genesis was unlike the "man" that God created that merely had dominion over the other beasts. Formed man, Adam man was not only created, but now had the breath of life breathed into his nostrils where he became a living soul.
There are theories that Genesis 2 is a repeat of Genesis 1; however, the evidence is that AFTER the seven day creation, there was not a man to till the ground and that, IN MY OPINION, means that God created Adam man, which is quite different from the "man" created in the seven "day" creation.
How long was one of these days? We don't know factually. All I can tell you is that the word "day" as used in Genesis chapter 1 of Genesis comes from a Hebrew word called yowm.
In Strong's Exhaustive Concordance to the Bible, that is number 3117 in the Hebrew dictionary and it is a "space of time defined by an associated term." It absolutely does not mean a literal 24 hour day.
Whether God created the entire earth in six days as we know them or 6 million years, it is wholly irrelevant as to whether or not we all descended from Adam and Eve. We did not.
If we accept the theory that Adam and Eve were the first people the Bible calls "man," you're still stuck with the beast that had all the physical attributes of a man (see post # 40 on this thread) OR
If we accept the theory that Adam man is an EIGHTH DAY CREATION, you still have pre-Adamic man. Any way you stack it or slice it, the Bible never says that Adam was the first man.
