When does biblical history begin ?

These days there are many Christians who will support evolution and a very old earth 4.5 billions years old, with a universe that's along the lines of 14 billion years.

Somewhere in this period they throw humanity into the mix some believe Adam and Eve could still have existed, or be created especially during the time that humans were also evolving, others believe that Adam and Eve were just a story of man's fall from grace. Given that most biblical characters can be dated back by linage to Adam and Eve's children that gives us a period of around 6,000~7,000 years since those people existed.  When does what the bible says become real history ?

Where does it place original sin in this context ?

This is a very narrow minded question. It assumes there were no other competing creation stories prior to the monotheisms of Jews/Christians or Muslims, and that is flat out nonsense.

I don't care which religion is trying to square modern science with the mythology of antiquity, it does not work regardless.

If you ask some Buddhists they'd claim reincarnation is proof that our atoms get recycled. If you ask Muslims they'd claim science matches their book. If you ask Hindus, same thing.

Don't get stuck on one label.

They all try to either debunk science, and when they cant do that, try to get it point to their respective clubs and writings.

I am not kidding.

Google for example.....

"Christian science"
"Muslim science"
"Jewish science"
"Buddhist science"
"Hindu science"

YOU will find in every religion websites that use apologists to try to debunk science, or apologists who try to use science to point to their club.

Creation mythology existed LONG before Christianity, Jews or Muslims.
