I keep noticing more subtleties in the scripture.  I love this actually, even while it forces me to revisit things.  Okay, here we go…

If we pull the Jewish Calendar back by 700 years, to line it up with the Flood, then the Calendar doesn’t start until 700 years after Adam was given life. (What kind of life? We’ll get back to that later)

In contrast, Enoch started walking with God the year his son Methuselah was born, which was 687 years after Adam was given life, according to Genesis 5.

If those these years before the calendar are God’s sabbath, then we have a 13 year disparity between two potential indicators of when that sabbath ended.  Does it end 700 years after Adam is given …

It is an interesting question asked, in Dating the Flood (Part 6) - Is Methuselah’s Birth the Beginning of the Jewish Calendar? However, if you add up the years in Genesis 5 leading Methuselah’s birth, it only adds up to 687 years.  The Jewish calendar’s prediction for the flood is off by 700.  What of the other 13?  Well, if we are really onto something, then perhaps the calendar begins when Methuselah was 13 years old.  Why then? Well by Jewish tradition, the age of 13 is when a Jewish boy becomes a man.  But why him? Hmmmm… let’s put off answering …

 1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
The verses complement the following excerpts in the Creation account:
Genesis 1:
  28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be …

I believe I have made a convincing case that mankind was created before Adam, around 200,000 years ago.  Then, Adam lived around 6,000-10,000 years ago.  The main proof is scripture.

Genesis 1:26-31

God made both genders on Day 6, and blessed them together, as one group. But in Genesis 2, Eve was only created because God saw Adam was lonely and needed help.
In Genesis 1, Day 6 refers to all of mankind by the word Adam; Genesis 2 refers to a specific person the name Adam.
In Genesis 1, God gives mankind the entire world to subdue, but…

In Genesis 2, God only gives Adam the Garden of Eden to tend
Adam only goes into the world after he sins
Any subduing Adam and his descendants did …

       29 Truly, this only I have found:
      That God made man upright,
      But they have sought out many schemes.”

Ecclesiastes 7:29

…continued Genesis 3 - The Fall of Man (Part 7)
22 And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth …

Genesis 2
 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
In Day 5 - Determining a Date (Part 2), I make the case the KT impact removed the hindrance to a a more modern, flourishing, fish and bird population.  This was 65 million years ago, when fish started to flourish.  Mammals actually started to flourish …

 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

 27 So God created man in his own image,
       in the image of God he created him;
       male and female he created them.

 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

 24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Now remember that the Geocrationist perspective here is that, as I write about in “Let” (borrowed from Glenn Morton’s Days of Proclamation Theory), that God removed an insurmountable hindrance to the animals mentioned in the verses above.  But, what was preventing …
