Adam and Eve were the first people God created to be holy and to have fellowship with Him. Whether they were the first people or not I don't know. I wasn't there.

This is an interesting subject. First of all I do belive in God&Creationalism, but however Im not very religous.Before God created Adam and Eve there must have been life on Earth.\nPerhaps God chose the Earth to put Man on because it was a very viable place to live. In Genisis chapter one it is written "In the begining God created the heavens and the Earth, and the Earth was VOID and WHITHOUT form" "Then the Spirit of the Lord moved apon the face of the deep... Its hard to say really, but in my opinion this is similar to the way science sugests that it all began, on a barren rocky world filled with an endless sea with which life could proliferate. There is evidence on the surface of the Earth that sugests that massive impacts from space have occured. Perhaps before the time of Man, the Earth was filled with Dinosaurs and 'quote' other prehistoric life and it was a great place for LIFE. Then one day for a reason known only to God, he chose to destroy the Earth with an asteroid so massive that it compleatly decimated everything, and left the planet, dark, void, and without proper form. The neanderthal men, in my opinion are evidence of somthing else mentioned in the Bible. In Genisis chapter six it says "the sons of God saw the beatiful women of the human race, and took any they wanted as there wives...in those days and even after GIANTS lived on the Earth" .The sons of God probly refers to angelic beings. Neanderthals were supposed to be much larger, and more robust then regular  humans of today. I think I have seen a few shows on the Discovery channle about human evolution, and acording to science, neanderthals, and humans most likely lived side by side. Then for reasons unknown, there was only MAN left as if the neanderthal died out. What about the great Mammoths, Sloths, Sabertoothed Cats, among other animals? I think that they, and the neanderthals were not included on NOAHS ARK. There is so much information to think about! Even so, there is still a lot of mystery. I do know one thing, all the PERFECT laws of the universe, from GRAVITY to MAGNATISIM, to PHYSICS just prove that that the universe was created intelligently, and beatifully might I ad. Sorry to type so much I have wandered about these issues too. Please remember that I was just speaking hypotheticaly on the what ifs. Hope I helped a little.

Who exactly knows? Only the Supreme Creator knows.\n\nBelievers rely on the story of creation - that makes Adam and Eve the very first people, who had the Creator, Satan and angel along with them.\n\nIf we base it in theories of evolution, say for example the Darwin's Theory, then nothing so far has been established as an exact information of who were the very first people - just we know that people are believed to evolve from apes. Whenever was the exact time for that and who the first people were, I am afraid nobody could tell.♥

We are all descendants of Adam and Eve (the first human beings created by God in the garden of Eden).

Wow, your question was confusing, I had to re-read it a few times. But, it's not a dumb question and I dont think it was a mean spirited question. Adam was the first man, fashioned from the dust and the breath of God in the image of God. Eve was the first woman made of Adams rib and the breath of God. They had children, namely 3 sons, Cain, Able, and Seth. So if you keep reading the bible from there, there are geneologies and you can see who begat whom on down the line. Long after Adam and many of his descendants had died, from the lineage of King David, a woman named Mary was bethrothed to a man named Joseph. Mary was indeed a virgin as she was not yet married. The Angel of the Lord came to her and told her that she was pregnant with our Savior, the Son of God.  What a daunting message, but God prepared for her just the right fiance, who loved her enough that at this seemingly crazy tale that he decided to preserve her life, her honor and put her away in secret. Well, the Angel of the Lord came to Joseph too, and told him that it is true, the baby is God's and your fiance's still a virgin (to paraphrase) If you read the Bible you'll get a more detailed version of this piece of History. The Baby Jesus grew to be a Man, all His life Jesus was close to God, His Father and prayed to him, because God is 3 persons, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. So, although Jesus is very much God, He is the Son of the Father. So, that is why Jesus is completely perfect and had no sin, and was able to sacrifice himself for us. At that moment when Jesus asked the Father "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do" He was extending that same grace to us too, even now. Jesus did not escape crucifixion, he did not escape death. He conquered death, he conquered the old law of the old testament that said there must be a sacrifice, a blood atonement for all sins. We were all born into sin because of Adam and Eve chosing to follow thier flesh and give in to temptation. We were permanantly severed from God, and still are if we dont believe that Jesus is God made flesh, and is God's Son. We must believe that and believe that Jesus did die that day on the cross, that he laid in a tomb dead, but was resurrected on the 3rd Day and that he ascended into heaven very much alive and there he sits at the right hand of the father, leaving The Holy Spirit ever interceding for us. That is the truth and the only way to be allowed into God's presence upon our death here on Earth. There is no blaspemy in that. Jesus was brought to trial for that, because he in no uncertain terms claimed his rightful title as The Son of God. He was found faultless by Pilate, however, the crowd shouted "Crucify Him" and took a foul murderer to be released and the mob sentanced thier own King thier own Savior to die. But, it was what had to be done. Jesus said before his crucifixion, "No one takes my life, I willingly lay it down".

This is a very good question indeed. Well, according to my source, which is the King James Version of the Holy Bible, (I choose this version because most people are familiar with it). There were man before Adam and Eve, the two of them were only the first of their own kind or tribe, as well as being the first servants of God. Genesis Chapter 1 versus 26-28 read: (*my own emphasis are added to the text)\n\n26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let THEM* have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.\n\n27 So God created man in his OWN* image, in the image of God created he him; MALE* and FEMALE* created he them.\n\n28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.\n\nSo here in the Bible tells of creation of man and woman. THIS man and woman were created simultaneously, not one then the other.  AND this man and woman or race of men and women were on the earth and had habitated the Earth as instructed by God, long before the creation of Adam and Eve. This is where in the Bible we find the story of the original people. The one's whom were given the dominion of the land as a gift of God. HOW do we know that these were not the same as Adam and Eve? That is told in verse 29 which reads:\n\n29 And God said,"See, I have given you EVERY* herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and EVERY* tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.\n\nTo these first inhabitants of the Earth, there was no forbidden fruit, as there was for Adam and Eve. The first people were given full dominion and full reign and EVERY tree as food.  As we see in this, King James Version of the Holy Bible, Adam and Eve came along later, long after the seventh day of creation. And also we see that they were a creation of the Lord God, who created them to be servants in the garden, because "there was no man to till the ground" (GEN 2:5). Genesis Chapter 2 tells of the creation of Adam:\n\n7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into him the breath of life; and the man became a living being.\n\nThen the Lord God gave Adam his rules:\n\n15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden *TO TEND AND KEEP IT*. \n\n16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;\n\n17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."\n\nThen Lord God noticed Adam was lonely:\n\n18 And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him."\n\nThen Eve was created:\n\n21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.\n22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.\n\nAnd they were good until the "serpent" went and pointed out to them that they were the only ones in the garden who couldn't eat from every tree... and as they say, the rest was history.

If you believe the Old Testament, Adam was created in God's image by God. No one gave birth to him. That explanation works for fundamentalist Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Buddhists and Hindus must have an explanation too, but I don't know what it is.\n\nIf you believe evolution, which 99% of all biologists believe, an almost-human gave birth to the first human.\n\nTake your pick.

According to the Bible, yes, Adam and Eve were the original parents of the entire human race.\n\nI like to think that God had a hand in ensuring that their children would not come out genetically flawed. I mean, if God could create the world out of nothing, I'm sure He can make his creations non-flawed for a while. After all, the circumstances sort of required some divine assistance to get His human project off the ground.\n\nThere was also a chapter in Genesis that mentioned that some angels of God came down to earth and took some beautiful women with them and had children with them. That might help explain some of the variety in the bloodlines.\n\nI kind of also think that Adam and Eve weren't the only humans God created. He could have very well created others concurrent or after Adam outside the Garden of Eden. Perhaps He spent more time in creating and developing Adam though. I don't know, it's just a hypothesis.\n\nYou also have to consider the fact that all the other humans aside from Noah and his family died in the great flood. That means that even if the children of Adam were flawed, it would be hard to prove since they all died at that point and stopped having descendants. Hopefully, by the time Noah comes around, there was enough of a variety in the blood mixes that genetic defects were few and diluted among the larger generation. Then the whole repopulating the earth would have to start again, but this time, with Noah and his family. Again, I like to think that God didn't stop creating at that point and helped out Noah and his family by preventing diseases and defects from developing in their inbred descendants.

Adam;s father was God. God created him.

The bible states that God created man (humanity, all the races) on the 6th day. Male and female. He blessed them and told them to multiply and fill the earth. Then, on the 7th day, He rested. Later.... in what many Christians today call 8th day creation.... God planted a garden but, saw there was no man to till the earth so, He made Adam, the first farmer. God brought to Adam many animals and Adam named them. These were the domestic animals we use today on farms and as beasts of burden. Wild aimals had been previously created on day 5. \n\nWhen Cain killed Abel, Cain went to the land of Nod were he took a wife. He married a female who was a 6th day creation human. \n\nLater, Adam and Eve had many children. One child, Seth, was to be the ancestor of Noah, who was the ancestor of David. From this lineage came Mary, mother of God. The reason for the lineage breakdown (the begatting) is to let us all know Christ's (for want of a better word) pedigree.

That depends on what religion you are. If you are christian, you believe apes were first because God created them before Adam & Eve. If you are agnostic/believe in science, you believe primitive apes were first, which evolved from some sort of amoeba. I am christian, and believe that apes  were created by God. No one has proof of this, but this is just a test of faith. Either way: the apes were first.\n\nAnd a question to Keith: the creation of the universe by Titans in Greek mythology is just as good of an explaination (if not better) than the big bang theory. How do you think the big bang started? There had to be something before it. It's just blatent ignorance.

I don't believe so.  Life started at Adam and Eve and God had already created the light and dark by then.

no homo sapiens did not come from "God" the concept of higher beings was a creation by man to explain the unexplainable, so therefore it was not "God" who created man but man who created "God"\n\nAs for the question homo sapiens came about essentially by pure chance and through the evolutionary process, the first home sapiens started out in africa and spread out throughout the rest of the world, and while the breed with themselves they also breed with the homo erectus and absorbing them

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!~
