From modern science we learn that man has been on this earth for some time; the amount of
time depends on the evolutionary theorist. However, all historians agree, about 5500 years
ago, something happened in the history of man. Irrigation systems were constructed, great
cities were built, and magnificent works of architecture emerged. Suddenly, man became
more creative, intelligent, and constructive. What happened? One source for this answer lies
in the oldest history book available, the Holy Bible.
Most fundamentalist Christians claim all men originate from Adam. Tracing the genealogy of
the Bible backward, Adam's birth took place about 5407 BC, 7400 years ago (note 1). These
Bible fundamentalists ignore the scientific evidence about us that is in conflict with this
assertion. But, like the atheistic evolutionist, they claim that evolution did occur, that is to say
the races formed after the creation of Adam. Due to environmental factors, the skin colors
changed, skeletal and muscular structure became different, skull shapes and brain size
changed, eye color changed, and so on. A closer examination of the Bible reveals evidence
that proves this claim by the fundamentalist Christian wrong. Also, we bring further light to the
fact that the "missing links" in evolutionary theory are indeed missing.
To understand the following better, read Chapter 1 and 2 within Genesis.
Point 1: The chapters and verses in the Holy Bible were inserted over a thousand years after
the time of Christ, by a priest not directly inspired by the Holy Spirit (but he did a great service
for mankind). He separated the chapters and verses as he was taught in his training. Prior to
that the Bible was a continuous narrative, very difficult from which to quote. Remember this in
your analysis of the Bible.
Point 2: Genesis 1:1 - "In the beginning God created the heaven and earth." When? We do
not know. This verse probably should have been Chapter 1, in and of itself.
Point 3: In Hebrew a "day" can mean an actual sunrise to sunset, and it can also mean a
"period of time" (but read note 2 and note 3). How long of a period, we do not know; each
period could have been a different length too.
Point 4: Genesis 1:24 - "And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature AFTER HIS
KIND, cattle, and creeping things, and beast of the earth AFTER HIS KIND: and God SAW
THAT IT WAS GOOD." Apparently, God created differences, liked his invention and
commanded: KIND AFTER KIND.
Point 5: Compare the order of the Creation from Genesis 1:2 through Genesis 2:4, to Genesis
2:5-25.
In Genesis Chapter 1:
God first created light;
second phase (day two): the waters;
third phase: earth/grass/the land;
fourth phase: the heavenly bodies;
fifth phase: water life and fowls in air;
sixth phase: beasts of the earth and man.
But in Genesis Chapter 2:5-25 the order was:
First: plants and earth;
Second: formed Adam (to "cultivate" the soil);
Third: the beast of the field and fowl of the air;
Fourth: Eve (bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh).
If the creation in Chapter 1 and 2 are the same, how could this inconsistency be?
Point 6: Compare Genesis 1:27-28 and Genesis 2:5-25. In Chapter 1, God created man and
woman at the same time and commanded them to "be fruitful and multiply." But in Chapter 2,
God formed a man called Adam. He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; he became a
living soul (the living soul issue is very important to recognize and understand). Later He took
one of Adam's ribs and from it made Eve. Adam and Eve were not commanded to "multiply";
they did so only after committing sin.
Point 7: Genesis 1:29 states "I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the
face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it
shall be for meat." But in Genesis 2:17, God states, "But of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, thou shall not eat of it...."
Point 8: Adam and Eve produced Cain and Abel. Cain murdered Abel. Thereafter God
banished Cain and made him "a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth." In Genesis 4:14 Cain
states "everyone that findeth me shall slay me." Genesis 4:17 states "Cain knew his wife" and
"he builded a city." Questions: Who is the everyone who would slay Cain? Where did Cain get
a wife? For whom did Cain build a city? Obviously, at that time, 7000 years ago, there were
other people in the world besides Adam, Eve, and Cain.
Point 9: In Hebrew, the word Adam means to blush red in the face or to have a rosy-ruddy
complexion (note 2). What group of people possesses such a complexion, is able to blush?
Point 10: Genesis 6:9 states that Noah was perfect in his generations. In Hebrew, generations
mean seedline (note 2). Noah was not perfect in that he had done nothing wrong; he was
perfect in his genealogy from Adam and Eve. Therefore, if he was perfect in his lineage from
Adam and Eve, an imperfection must exist, a non-Adamic lineage.
Point 11: Deuteronomy 23:2 states that a bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the
Lord. In Hebrew, this word is mamzer (bastard) meaning the product of a racially mixed
marriage, a mongrel (note 2). In this particular case, it meant the product of a marriage
between an Israelite and non-Israelite. As explained further in Chapter 23 (and other parts of
the Bible), there are exceptions to this rule. God commanded the people of the Bible, a
special line of Adamic man (the Israelites), not to mix their seed with those who were not
kinsmen, spiritually and racially.
Point 12: Genesis 6:2 states that the sons of God married the daughters of men. The
commandment of kind after kind was violated (Gen 1:24). Hybridization occurred. Wickedness
increased. From further study of the Bible it becomes apparent that the sons of God are the
descendants of Adam and the daughters of men are pre-Adamic (those people created before
Adam).
To summarize, we assert that God created the life around us in a different order. The time
frame of that order, we do not know. Concerning man, the evidence from the Bible is conclusive. There was man on earth before Adam. How long before Adam, we do not know.
In the following chapters, we will examine the descendants of Adam. That brief analysis
should reveal something about him and what his physical and mental characteristics were
like.

Samaritan Text and archaeological evidence coordinate this date. The King James Version of
the Bible states Adam's birth to be about 4000 BC.

E. Raymond Capt presents in his cassette album, "The Bible and Archaeology" the viewpoint
that the six, twenty-four hour days of Genesis were simply 6 days occupied by God in
revealing to Adam the story of Creation, a revelation of His creative acts in times past. The
Hebrew word for create is "bara" which means, "create" or "to create" and was not used in the
Genesis account. Instead the Hebrew word "asah" is used in the six days, which means, "do"
or "did" with no suggestion that the acts or processes of God had occupied those six days.
