What we're telling you is that we know there were not two people on earth 6000 years ago, but millions. The cities of Jericho, and Çatal Höyük are over 9000 years old. And the cities of Uruk, Eridu, and Ur (the homeland of Abram) were all founded by the time you're claiming Adam was the lone man in the Garden.

That's not what I said. All bishop whatever proved was that it's been 6000+ years since the explusion from the Garden. Because in order to 'begat' someone their needs to be a child. Adam and Eve did not 'begat' anyone till AFTER they were evicted from Garden life.
While I did say Adam was the first man, I did not say he was the only one.

Quote:But it begs a question. If humans waited, in a state of eternal life, while everything else evolved and diversified into modern life, why do we show every sign of evolving (shared genetic markers in our noncoding DNA like viral-infection scars, for instance) the same way as everything else on earth? Why would it be necessary to fake the appearance that we evolve the same way as everything else?Because again, Man outside the garden evolved at their own rate. Created Man/Adam was made unique in that God breathed into Him a soul. Man evolved from whatever primate/monkey science now says is the one, evolved without a soul.
So pre flood Their were soul-less monkey men and Man made in the image of God co-existing to one degree or another. Then post flood, only man with a soul remained. (meaning we all have souls)
