I never stated that God created Adam on the 8th day. I'm sorry for giving you a hard time tonight. That was uncalled for and I apologize. I don't know what gets into me at times. Actually, I appreciate the time and consideration that you provide with the bible verses that state or support what your position is on any given topic. God bless you for your work on the threads.

English Standard Version
The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Now the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.
King James Bible
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Isn't it something how folks will dig in to see something not there, while overlooking obvious, plainly written verses called context?
I believe this is straining at gnats & swallowing camels.

I missed this because it was not yet posted when I last read this page! It is very invenitve but IMPOSSIBLE to justify from the Hebrew text!
Gen 3:20
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
KJV
tells us that Eve was the mother of all living [humans]. Eve's name cha vah literally means Life Comes!
In addition the Hebrew grammar does not allow chapter 2 to be read as a separate event from verse 1!
Gen 2:4
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
KJV
These אֵ֣לֶּה In Hebrew, the noun that a pronoun refers to ALWAYS precedes the pronoun. Thus ALL THAT FOLLOWS is referred back to chapter 1. The fact that this pronoun is plural indicates that it looks back to multiple statements or events.
are the generations תוֺלְד֛וֺת usually means genealogies; but in this case it means history of the origin.
in the day בְּיׄוֺם can mean either in the day or in the time [duration unspecified]. Since it refers back to chapter 1, we know 6 days were involved [ plus an optional gap between either verses 1 and 2, and/or verses 2 and 3].

What rubbish you post.
Gen 1 was an outline of Gods creation.
Gen 2 was a detailed outline of God creating the man he created in chapter 1.
If you read the OT, many places use this form of communication.
Adam was the first man, He is the father of mankind. it is in ADAM all die. Because he was the FIRST.
E
Adam is human, His wife IS the mother of all living. Adam is the father of the human race
conclusion
Adam is Chapter 1.
If God created humans and they walked for all that time and never sinned, Why did God not just take adam out. And continue to let mankind live on their own., since it seems you think many men and women lived who never sinned.

I appreciate the invitation; but 4300 miles + for a cup of coffee seems a bit much
