Yes, a lot of Germans beleive that cavemen/apes/dinsouars are first who live on the earth. They don't beleive in Eve and Adam.

Cavemen & cavewomen ? Okay, let's see if, scriptures say anythin' about cavemen & cavewomen...

Let's read what the scripture says :

Genesis 1:26, 27

verse 26: " And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: "

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

Are you sayin' that Adam and Eve were caveman and cavewoman after God's image, his own likeness - the image of God ?

I believe God created evolution. There is scientific proof that evolution is real. However, I believe that God set the rules and then started the Universe. Isn't that more interesting to think about than to just assume everything in the Bible is 100% accurate? Of course there had to be first humans. Perhaps they were Adam and Eve. I do believe in God, and I am a Christian (b/c I'm Catholic). However, I see science more proving the existence of God than denying Him.

Well, we have original ape/human skulls, fossils, etc... and also original paint/draw in the cave... Real and original are the best proof than read the book...

We don't know what Eve and Adam look like... Where're proof? no original about them but we learn Eve and Adam from the bible... but cavemen, dinsoaurs etc... are real and have original skulls, fossils, etc.

Cavemen/women can't write and read but painting/draw in the cave. They still have it in Kent, England.

How the people know Eve and Adam are exist or not? If they are really exist that mean is we have same blood group.

If you believe that God created evolution, then how do you reconcile the fact that the Bible says it happened the Genesis Creationary way and no other way?

No, she was saying that the creation story in Genesis 1 is not literally accurate, a fact which is true.

Oh, no! Heresy! Stone the lot of them!

Here's a question for you...why should the previous stages of evolution be any LESS what God intended? As far as I'm concerned, they were necessary to get from Point A to Point B just the same as the various stages of a sculpture are necessary or the various layers of paint on a painting. I think that when one speaks of the image of God, it is the human spirit as it was then before the Fall, and as we see again in Jesus. There had to be a first and a second to be given such a spirit and awareness of God...for me those are the ones we call Adam and Eve. The outer form is of secondary importance to that.

I also find it very interesting that the VERY first parts of Genesis, before the whole evolution debate, can be taken as a poetic description of the Big Bang. I think that if the Bible did not exist, and a modern person were to create a poetic rendition of the Big Bang, you'd get something a lot like what's in there. And thus far, I have never seen that kind of description outside of the Judeo-Christian religions...there are other creation stories but I have never seen the depiction of the Big Bang that I think occurs in the Bible, anywhere else. The really amazing thing about that is that God helped the writer to understand enough of what was going on in his visions to make it recognizable today--even though his people would have known nothing of physics or outer space...or even the number "zero," let alone infinity.

Moses wrote it. Where does he gets those story? Thru word of mouth? God told him? Or did he made it up? It is problem because it was not written at that time when adam and eve show up. No one knew except God.

 

[Kalista]

the bible didn't say they were first people.

This person was the first creative by God on this earth.

Merely posting bible verses from Genesis and saying that they are true as they are fails to differentiate between them actually being true and being part of the mythology and legends of a culture from thousands of years ago. Where is the evidence that the stories from that particular culture are true, but not the stories from other cultures?

I've met some people who believe that reading the bible would show that its truth is self-evident. From my reading, I've seen nothing to distinguish it from legend. I've read all of Genesis and parts of it read like a written version of oral stories. Many other creation stories were also oral.

Singling out Genesis from all of the other creation stories from around the world and saying that it's the only true story does not make it true. What can differentiate between them? Since those stories are about the formation of the universe, they should be compared against the universe itself.

The universe's creation influences what characteristics it has. If a creation story sets up an universe that contradicts the characteristics of the real universe, then the story cannot be true.
