Enjoyed however, I sure more people must have been on earth too Genesis 1:26 right?

In my view the writer is possibly giving a mirror of mankind and God and understand how the yoke of sin broke and used Adam and Eve as a symbol. Genesis 2 story line.

Great work Fuz. Keep fighting the good fight and God bless you in your efforts.

Bob watching from Defiance, Ohio. We live in a special time where the scientific evidence you present (mitochondrial Eve and Y chromosome Adam) show that Adam & Eve lived just 10's of thousands of years ago. When I grew in the 60s the leading scientific theory was that we descended from many individuals millions of years ago. The shrinking of the time and number is amazing. Who would ever think that we would see technology that could measure this from something other that archaeology. But the field of genetics has done this.

[mybuckhead]

If you would read the Bible as written, not from a religious doctrine, you will see that the Elohim created Adam and Eve and Jehovah created a woman from Adam.

[markmcgowan]

The pre Adamites were called Enosh. Adam means ruddy or to show blood in the face. Adam was clearly not the first man.

[pistol]

Interesting. William Lane Craig thinks Genesis 1-11 are mytho-history and sees no issues with that.

SUMMARY OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS

(My little contribution)
.
.
1) The Earth was not created 6000 years ago
.
2) In Genesis 1, the earth was probably created thousands or millions of years ago.
.
And this is when God created a perfect Heaven (sky) and Earth,
and
This earth wasnt void and deformed but it was perfect.
.
God always create perfect-complete things.
And
not deformed, void, formless.
.
This perfect created heaven and earth had water on it, plants, and many living things like DINOSAURS.
.
.
3) In Genesis 1 v 2,
It says the earth was formless, void, and ''Water'' was already on earth such that the Holy Spirit was hovering over the waters.
.
Here it shows that
there is a jump of events which took place which left the earth void, formless, and polluted water, on which the Holy Spirit was hovering over,
and these events are not recorded because the bible is not some history-science book.
.
God sets the scriptures in a such a way that it shows the most important things we need to know.
To avoid distractions.

So,
God destroyed the first heaven(sky) and the earth killing/wiping out all dinosaurs, and all living things.

These events took place between Genesis 1 v1 and Genesis 1 v 2
.
.
3) Then now comes the Creation again.
second creation after the first creation which God destroyed
or
we can say,
The first creation after the first creation which God destroyed living the world void, formless and polluted water, on which the Holy Spirit was hovering on.
.
THIS EXPLAINS WHY GOD
said
Replenish the earth or refill the earth.
because
it was once filled but God destroyed everything in preparation of the creation of humans.
.
.
4) Then comes in order the 6 days creation
which
i personally believe there were not 24 hr days but rather 1000 years according to 2 Peter 3 v 8 and Psalm 90 v 4.

For 1 day to God...to us its 1000 years.
.
So
those 6 days of creation of Genesis chapter 1,
were 6000 years...in earthly time and not 6 literal days.
.
.
5) Genesis 1 v 26
God created humans
All races,
Blacks, whites, indians, Asians etc
all these people were created at the same time,
male and female
and
were commanded to multiply and fill the earth.

have babies and fill the earth.
Eat the fruits.
.
LABOUR PAINS: At this time, the labour pains for women were very minimal.
Women could easily give birth to children
.
Sin has not entered the world yet.
.
.
6) God rested on the 7th day
(1000 years)
without creating anything.
.
.
7) After the 7th day
(1000 years)
God decided to create one man, ADAM,

The first Hebrew Prophet
for one reason
To till the ground and take care of His fruits and flowers in the Garden that He would create...which later He created in Eden and placed Adam in it.

No Eve is created here yet.
.
.
8) Adam is lonely,
God creates animals for him to name them and play with them.

But Adam was still lonely
.
.
9) So God creates a woman, Eve, for him, as a help meet.

As an assistant in taking care of the garden.

And were not commanded to have sex and have babies.

Such commandment was never given to Adam and Eve in the garden.
.
Until they had sinned and got kicked out the garden of Eden thats when they had their first Sex and Eve conceived and gave birth to Cain and Abel.
With increased labour pains.
.
.
10) Adam and Eve sin
God curses the snake, removes the legs and commands it to move on its belly,
God increases labour pains for all women because of the Sin of Eve,
God removes free things like food from Adam....No sweet without sweat now.
,
All the races of people outside the garden sins along with Adam.
why?
Because Adam was representing all races on earth.
.
All the races of people were being represented by Adam.
.
.
11) Adam and Eve get kicked out, and have babies.
Cain and Abel.
.
12) Cain kills Abel and goes to Nod and marries a gentile idolatrous woman from among the races of people like whites, blacks who were outside the garden populating
and gives birth to Enock and builds a city.
Because there were many idolatrous gentiles there.
.
.
12) In Genesis 6,
Sin is increased on earth because Jews, sons and grandsons of Adam, just like cain, continued marrying idolatrous races of people and turned away from God except Noah and his family.
.
13) Some gave birth to giants like who were humans just like Og the King, Goliath and his brothers.
.
14) The giants of genesis 6 were humans
a product of humans and humans.
Jews and gentile people some of whom were already giants.
.
Angels do not procreate as Jesus says in the new testament.
Therefore
it was not fallen angels who were marrying women but Jews...true believers in Yahweh marrying idolatrous gentile women....just like King Solomon as we see later.
.
15) God sends a local/regional flood which destroyed all the wicked except Noah and his family.
.
16) Yes the flood was not global but local...regional in that area.
.
It did not kill all the animals and birds on earth
It did not kill all races of the People on earth
.
Let me stop here for now,
lest i write a book.
.
From your brother in Christ,

Nope, Adam and Eve was the First Human who believed in God.. that There was a God.. Old Human is still learning in Process.. how to communicate.. not educated

[bobbiller]

1) Either Adam and Eve were created after the great flood in Noah
Or
2) They were sorta the first person bcs GOD wanted to see the resut in his holy area (the garden) instead of waiting for HIS upcoming creations (Homo sapiens) to finish their obsticles (Life's obsticles) of becoming GOD'S image.


I'm still gonna say that we were never monkeys 💯%

[stephenbattle]

The genealogy doesn’t prove that there was only two original. It shows the lineage of Christ. Adam and Eve are definitely the genetic progenitors of the current humankind however that doesn’t prove they were first either.

[jacobcherian]

Adam and Eve were the first modern humans created in God`s image probably some 40, 000-50, 000 years ago. But I think God created pre-Adamic humans before Adam and Eve and the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was transferred to the pre-Adamic humans !

[robbo]

Genesis chapter 1: God created men in His image. Genesis chapter 2: God created Adam from dirt. I don't see a conflict at all. Adam and Eve 6000 years ago, mankind very much older.

[bungalobill]

There is really no good exegetical reason to claim the Adam and Eve of Genesis 2 are also the Mankind of Genesis 1. It is more tradition than anything
Read them both side by side and they do not correspond. They were made for different reasons

Cain most likely took his wife from those outside the garden. They would have been the ones he was afraid would kill him, and also the ones who would occupy the city he was to build

The sons of God who took wives from the daughters of men is most likely speaking of what Cain and others did

The pure line from Adam would have been preserved in Noah (those from Adam who married women from the line of Seth not Cain) The pure line that leads to Jesus. As was promised through Eve

Satan tried to mess up the whole thing through the death of Abel but God replaced him with Seth

You have to understand that the whole thing is getting to Christ after the promise was made "the seed of the woman will crush the serpent's head". That was the objective

[kyz]

Their names weren’t Adam and Eve, we know little about that other than the fall, but yes they’re real.
