Yes because humans were made as soon as Earth was created by God.

1. Yes\n2. Not in the literal Biblical story of Genesis, no. I think the Adam & Eve story is more symbolic than literal. Genesis generally lays out what was created first then next, but I don't believe in the literal "7 days" story.  I think each day of the 7 days really means a long period of time passed on Earth before the next step was taken.  If you don't take the literal meaning of "7 days" then the Genesis account actually matches scientific data/theories of the origin of the cosmos, earth, etc.  For example, light or the sun came into being first before Earth, then on Earth first there was water before land, and how humans were created after the animals and the plants.    \n3. Yes\n4. Yes\n5. Yes

Adam and Eve were supposed to be perfect humans. They sinned blah blah. There is a scripture that says that God made the earth to time indefenit. So it all depends what your beliefs are. I believe God's purpose is to rid the world of evil and let humans reach that perfect state with out the evil influence. Then and there can we be tested as perfect humans and prove our loyalty to God in this world as Adam and Eve were tested. Good times!~

You need to remember that Adam and Eve lived for years, Adam was 930 years old when he died and they had many children, who must have married among themselves, and quickly develoed into a large population. After a hundred years or so, there would have been considerably sized cities growing up. The Bible does not say that everything that happened to Cain happened to him when he was young. After 400 years he could have been living in a city of several thousand people.

Cause according to the bible (which was originally written in Hebrew but mostly read in English these days) - the world is less than 6,000 years old. So, if we had Adam and Eve around 6000 years ago, we should all be their descendants - millions of yours....

The first species of the genus Homo appeared about 2.5 million years ago.  The first Homo sapiens appeared about 160,000 years ago.\n\nDuring the last 1500 years and before the advent of birth control, the average length of a generation has been 30 years.  This is known from accurate genealogical records.  It is calculated by dividing the number of generations into the years elapsed.  I'm sorry I don't have a reference for this.  It is born out by my own genealogical work with numerous lines over 10 generations and the lineage of an acquaintance who was descended from Mohammed (his was 29.5).  Also, I have seen many other genealogical results close to 30 years per generation.\n\nUsing 30 years per generation, Homo appeared 83,000 generations ago and Homo sapiens appeared 5,300 generations ago.

It could have been millions of years for all we know. The Bible is written in Hebrew. The word that translates into day refers to "a period of time". That was doubrful a twenty-hour hour period. Besides, if I day is measured by the earth's rotation around the sun, how would the creation of the earth and sun be measured? Days as we know them did not exist yet, because they sun and earth didn't exist yet. \nCouldn't have been timed on a stopwatch. \nSo yes, it was probably millions of years, years as we know them - so many revolutions around the sun.

The bible only says that Adam and Eve were the first two perfect people living in the garden. It does not say that there were not more living out side the garden that were not so perfect

The first man on earth was Adam .... and he was alone because God created him with his power .But God didnt leave him alone ,He created Eve ...

No, Adam and Eve were the first Homo Sapiens.\n\nYou're trying too hard to fit science and the bible together.  God didn't create a clean rock called Earth.  He created the Earth with a history.  That's how you come to terms with 1,000,000 year old fossils.  He made them that old to begin with.  Connecting evolution to the Bible is easier than you think.

Based on fossil, genetic, and molecular evidence, we have a long train of ancestors in our history.  Modern humans and other primates, such as monkeys, have a common ancestor that lived about 25 million years ago, and our ancestor would probably *not* be considered a "monkey."  Before that were early mammals, and before that mammal-like reptiles, the sauropsids. Before that were early reptiles, and amphibians.  And yes, before that, about 440 million years ago, one of our ancestors was a fish.  So you are correct.

Good question.......I asked how did Adam and Eve have two sons and carry on the human race. Was it incest? i have no idea.\n\nWe have this idea that Adam and Eve were white (seen in pictures) but who really knows what race they were or if they truly existed. I was told that the bible is theory and it is symbolic not to be  taken literal. So take it for the "story" book it is.

Well, Adam lived to be 930 yrs old and Eve lived almost a long.  It was only later that God reduced the amount of years a man could love.  During this time they had many many sons and daughters.  And these sons and daughters married and reproduced as well.  I know what you're thinking; incest.  When God gave Moses the law He stopped immediate family members from marrying.  So, 930 years one can make a lot of babies.
