The problem with the genealogies aren't that they equal to six thousand years, the problem lies with the idea that Adam and his children came with in a few weeks of the last day of creation. Nothing in the bible puts a time line between the end of creation and the exodus of man from the garden. Adam and Eve could have only been there a week, but again because their is no time line they could have been in the garden the billions of years needed for evolution to happen.
That ignores the clear teaching that death came through Adam. Evolution depends on death.
Really? Where is this 'clear teaching' at exactly?
Because in Genesis 2 16The Lord God gave him this command: “You may eat from any tree in the garden. 17 But you must not eat from the tree that gives knowledge about good and evil. If you eat fruit from that tree, on that day you will certainly die!”
To whom was God Speaking? The world and everything in it, or to Adam and Eve?
We know He was Speaking to Adam and Eve because He addresses them specifically. We also know He is speaking to Adam's decendents as well, because of what Paul said in Romans 5:12 but on the same token we also Eternal life is also possible again in Romans 5 through Christ's sacrifice thus canceling out the 'death' of Genesis 2, or so says Paul when he explains the meaning of "True life and True Death" in Romans 5:18-21.
That said nothing in the bible says everything else on the planet was immortal. that is just the religious (not biblically founded) teaching of men.
