According to the Bible the first man was Adam. In Hebrew the word for man sounds like and may be related to the Hebrew word for ground.

Nephilim are falling angels that have sex with women.  they were known as men of renown.  mighty warriors.  in Greek mythology they are called Titans (half man and half God).\n\ni believe these are the aliens that we see.  the end times will be like the days of Noah.  in the days of Noah there was the Nephilim.  so it makes you wonder if in the end times these fallen Angels will come and take control again and turn the earth evil.  Nephilim is actually two Greek words.  look it up.  it means fallen Angel i think.

I assume you refer to the 40 years they wandered through the desert prior to entering the promised land?\n\nTwo, as far as I can recall:  the true God and the "god" they asked Aaron to make for them in the form of a golden calf.\n\nFYI:  they weren't properly called "Israelites" at that time, but you're forgiven.

They were giant evil half breeds. The angels (I believe fallen) bred with human women creating a wicked evil super being. This is the reason God flooded the Earth. Read the Book of Enoch and you will learn more detail of them. They are called Nephilum. The Book of Enoch was discovered in Ethiopia in 1773 and then again in the Quram cave #4 (Dead Sea Scrolls). Enoch was Cains son and wrote the prophecies of the flood and the parting of the Red Sea.

Adam was the 1st man.\nEve was the 1st woman.\nJinns and dinosaurs were the 1st creatures.

To my knowledge the Bible doesn't mention anything about dinosaurs.  I've read about donkeys and giants, but no dinosaurs.  I figure I'll just ask Jesus about them when I get up there.

Please give a Biblical reference for what you are talking about.

In the Postdiluvium Period, Nimrod of Ancient Babylon was the first self-proclaimed king of the world as confirmed in the Holy Scriptures and cross confirmed in the "Sumerian Kings' List", a chronology of Mesopotamian Kings covering hundreds of thousands of years, including the Antediluvium Period, prior to our current Earth Age.  Historians totally reject the enormous dates claimed in these historical cuneiform tablets, because these dates do not fit well in the erroneous historical paradigm of linear history, and the current limited mindset of the Anthropological Orthodoxy.\n\nSee:\nThe antediluvian patriarchs and the Sumerian King List:\nhttp://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v12/i3/sumerian.asp\n\nFrom Genesis we read:  "Cush begat Nimrod, who was the first to be a despot on the earth. He was an overbearing tyrant in Jehovah's sight; wherefore the saying, Even as Nimrod, the overbearing tyrant in Jehovah's sight."  (Genesis 10:8,9)\n\nSee: \nhttp://www.embassyofheaven.com/catalog/patriotn.htm

Something I found interesting while studying Genesis. I did a Beth Moore "Patriarchs"  And I liked it but then I got J. Vernon Mcgee Commentary series and he really expands on the Bible.  Check it out it is really good, anyway on the chapter he did on God's creation of Man he states that "It is quite interesting that our bodies are made up of about  16 chemical elements. Those same chemical elements are found in the ground. The physical part of man was taken out of the dust of the ground. If we were to be boiled down  (gross huh)into the separate chemical elements of which we are made, we would be worth very little in terms of money. I used to say $2.98, but inflationhas increased that figure a little. That is the extent of our bodily worth because we were made out of dust from the ground. But man is more than dust. Physically, dust he is and to the dust he will return, but his spirit is going to God."  Just something I found interesting and wanted to share.

The Bible doesn't give a whole lot of information on early man.  For example, we don't know how genetically similar Adam and Eve were.  We also don't know where the wives of their sons came from.  Did God create other humans?  Did they marry their sisters?  The Bible doesn't give answers to these questions.  Maybe God didn't think it was very important for us to know.  Perhaps early man wasn't interested in the complex details of the situation, so it wasn't recorded.\n\nChristians refer to people as God's children because of the special relationship that humans can have with God.  Just as our human father is suppose to love and take care of us, encourage us and help us grow, so that's the type of relationship that God wants to have with us.

NEPHILIM\n\n(Neph´i·lim) [Fellers; Those Who Cause [Others] to Fall Down].\n\nThis is a transliteration of the Hebrew word nephi·lim´, plural in its three occurrences in the Bible. (Ge 6:4; Nu 13:33 [twice]) It evidently stems from the causative form of the Hebrew verb na·phal´ (fall) as found, for example, in 2 Kings 3:19; 19:7.\n\nThe Bible account describing Jehovah’s displeasure with men in the days of Noah before the Flood relates that “the sons of the true God” took for themselves wives from among the attractive daughters of men. It then mentions the presence of “Nephilim,” saying: “The Nephilim proved to be in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of the true God continued to have relations with the daughters of men and they bore sons to them, they were the mighty ones [Heb., hag·gib·bo·rim´] who were of old, the men of fame.”—Ge 6:1-4.\n\nIdentity. Bible commentators, considering verse 4, have offered several suggestions as to the identity of these Nephilim. Some have thought that the derivation of the name indicates that the Nephilim had fallen from heaven, that is, that they were ‘fallen angels’ who mated with women to produce “mighty ones . . . the men of fame.” Other scholars, focusing their attention particularly on the statement “and also after that” (vs 4), have said the Nephilim were not the ‘fallen angels’ or the “mighty ones,” since the Nephilim “proved to be in the earth in those days” before the sons of God had relations with women. These latter scholars hold the opinion that the Nephilim were simply wicked men like Cain—robbers, bullies, and tyrants who roamed the earth until they were destroyed by the Flood. Still another group, taking into consideration the context of verse 4, conclude that the Nephilim were not themselves angels, but were the hybrid offspring resulting from materialized angels having intercourse with the daughters of men.\n\nSame as “gib·bo·rim´.” Certain Bible translations adjust the location of the phrase “and also after that,” placing it near the beginning of verse 4, thus identifying the Nephilim with the “mighty ones,” the gib·bo·rim´, mentioned in the latter part of the verse. For example: “In those days, as well as afterward, there were giants [Heb., han·nephi·lim´] on the earth, who were born to the sons of the gods whenever they had intercourse with the daughters of men; these were the heroes [Heb., hag·gib·bo·rim´] who were men of note in days of old.”—Ge 6:4, AT; see also Mo, NIV, and TEV.\n\nThe Greek Septuagint also suggests that both the “Nephilim” and “mighty ones” are identical by using the same word gi´gan·tes (giants) to translate both expressions.\n\nReviewing the account, we see that verses 1 to 3 tell of “the sons of the true God” taking wives and of Jehovah’s statement that he was going to end his patience with men after 120 years. Verse 4 then speaks of the Nephilim proving to be in the earth “in those days,” evidently the days when Jehovah made the statement. Then it shows that this situation continued “after that, when the sons of the true God continued to have relations with the daughters of men,” and describes in more detail the results of the union of “the sons of the true God” with women.\n\nWho were the ‘sons of God’ that fathered the Nephilim?\n\nWho were “the sons of the true God” that were involved? Were they men who were worshipers of Jehovah (as distinguished from the general run of wicked mankind), as some claim? Evidently not. The Bible implies that their marriage to the daughters of men resulted in whipping up the badness in the earth. Noah and his three sons, along with their wives, were the only ones in God’s favor and were the only ones preserved through the Deluge.—Ge 6:9; 8:15, 16; 1Pe 3:20.\n\nHence, if these “sons of the true God” were merely men, the question arises, Why were their offspring

(m)\n\nThe original story of David and Goliath is written in the Book of Samuel (I Samuel, 16-18). David was a young Israelite, living with his family in Bethlehem, a few miles south of Jerusalem. Goliath was a well-trained Philistine soldier who stood 9 and 3/4 feet tall. The Israelites, led by King Saul, were in a battle against the great armies of the Philistines.  \n\nGoliath yelled to Israelites, "Choose a man from among you to come fight me. If he can kill me, then the Philistines will be your servants. If I kill him, then all of you will become servants of the Philistines." \n\nYoung David volunteered to fight Goliath. No other soldier was willing to fight the giant. Armed with only a sling and stones, David slung a stone into the giant's forehead. The giant fell down, and David grabbed the giant's sword and killed him. \n\nThis remarkable story, in which the underdog prevails against great odds, has survived thousands of years. The story is familiar. In almost every struggle or competition (military, political, business, athletic, ...), generally one side is weaker than the other. The story is appealing. Knowing that the weaker side can become the victor gives us great hope. The story is exciting. Since the expected outcome is for the stronger side to win, it is exciting when the unexpected occurs and the weaker side prevails.

Well, I'm not positive as to why they lived longer BEFORE the time of Noah... but I do know that in Genesis, it mentions that the life of man would be shortened.\n\nGenesis 6:3 says "And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."
