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 …

As I wrote in Cain and Abel Consistent with Old or Young Earth Scenario, there was sufficient time in Adam’s life for their to have been a woman for Cain to marry, and people for whom to build a city.  I say this, not only because I believe there were already people alive, but because Adam was 130 years old when Seth was born, and Seth replaced Abel for Eve.  This implies that there may have been as much as 130 years of pro-creation happening before Cain got married.  If half of all people born were women, each woman could start giving birth around 15 years …

Interesting thought, huh?  It kind of makes you think of a woman, the first woman in the world, capable of conceiving a baby without the need for a man… a new trait for humanity, which Natural Selection would select either for against as a desiralbe trait for mankind.  Except Jesus never had kids by which to pass it on… and we’re unaware of Mary’s other children or desendents repeating a virgin birth.  Well, that isn’t what I was tallking about anyway.

What I noticed about Jesus’ conception is the balance between humanity and divinity.  On the one hand, Jesus has a physical ancestry going all the back to Adam and beyond.  On the other hand, God took one of Mary’s eggs …

I recently got to look at a common science text for home schooling Christian parents.  Homeschooling is a wonderful thing when done correctly, and the families I know are raising exceptional children.  In fact, the best science program I have found so far is this hands on science teacher who sells kits online, teaches over the Internet to provide real experiments and real understanding of the universe in which we live.  So, I was interested when of the parents let me see the science book that they were using.  It turns out that this was from a different curriculum than the one I expected.

I opened the book at random, and simply read two examples of proofs against evolution.  The first proof was …

One of my early premises of Geocreationism is that Jesus Himself was present for Creation.  Even the very first verse of the Bible says so.
Genesis 1:1 - “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
As I discussed in my post on Genesis 1:1a, the word for God is Elohim, a plural form of the one God.  It represents both God’s unequaled majesty, as well the Trinity, using a word that is both plural and singular at the same time.  John confirms this in his gospel in John 1:1-3, and Solomon describes why Jesus was there in Proverbs 8:22-26.  In fact, Solomon even goes on to give Jesus a voice in Proverbs 8:27-30a.  Here, …

…continued from Genesis 3 - The Fall of Man (Part 4)

After disciplining the serpent, then Eve, God now turns to Adam, whom God had interrogated first on the matter…
 17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat of it,’
       “Cursed is the ground because of you;
       through painful toil you will eat of it
       all the days of your life.
Now this is harsh.  God had given him a garden, in which he had all the food he ever needed.  Of course, it did require tending, enough so that …

One of the most difficult parts of my Creation studies has been the topic of Evolution.  What to believe? And it’s more than just figuring out a theory that fits the evidence, it’s prayerfully working out what God actually did.

Most of the problems with Evolution stem from a combination of two things: our tremendous knowledge of what is in the fossil record, and our lack of knowledge of what is NOT in the fossil record.  Why is something missing from the record? Well, it’s either because it just never got fossilized or it’s because it never existed.  So, how do you know which it is?

Science takes what is known and theorizes the unknown.  That is what it does.  Unfortunately, I …

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.
When did God rest?  In Day 6 - When did it end?, I suggested that the creation of Homo Sapiens Sapiens was a reasonable date for ending Day 6: 200,000 years ago.  So then, when …

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.”
