I'm having some trouble with your line of thought.Man was created during those 7 days, but also evolved elsewhere on the planet?
Quote: But once that seven days was over it could have been trillions of eons between the end of creation and the fall of man. (which happened about 6000 years ago.)Is your position that the fall of man happened at least 10,000 years after humans domesticated the dog?
Quote:We simply do not know.We know a great deal about civilizations before 6,000 years ago. How does that square with what you are trying to say?
Quote:Again The creation account only records (more of less) what happenes in the Garden of Eden. I am suggesting God made Eden apart from what happens in the rest of the planet.This is hard to understand. So scores of human civilizations were going about their business while Adam and Eve were in the garden? How about Eve's punishment? Women were giving birth in great pain before Eve did a bad thing? Adam and Eve were in the garden while all other humans were evolving? I'm interested, I just can't get a grasp on your argument.
