1 Cor 15: 46 KJV "Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural, and afterward that which is spiritual."

I haven't found a single place in scripture that tells us that man's time on the earth is 7,000 years, but if you add it up, including the Millennium. I get 7,000 years for mankind's times upon the earth. According to the above verse, which I consider to be an absolute truth the angels would have to have their time as mortals before then were made spirits. If we got 7,000 years, then I suspect that they got 7.000 years also.
So I get 13,000 years for the age of the earth. thus far...

Eli, I consider that as foolish thinking for there was only 77 generations from Adam to Christ.
I understand.
Depending on your level of rejection, you may not even be able to post in this forum via the internet so it's a fine balance.

Exodus 20:11 for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.

Exodus 31:11 It is a sign for ever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”

Genesis chapter 1.... the 6th day of creation of the world...

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [ak]sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [al]sky and over every living thing that [am]moves on the earth.” 29 Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the [an]surface of all the earth, and every tree [ao]which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30 and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the [ap]sky and to every thing that [aq]moves on the earth [ar]which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. 31 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

This was all done in one 24 hour day, correct? Evening and morning?

No, not really.
Was it Adam created on the 6th day, or was it just mankind in general?
If it was Adam, why did God tell him to rule over the fish in the sea? I'm no geography expert, but as far as I know, there is no sea in that part of Turkey...
And why was mankind told to rule over all the animals in all the earth, and to be fruitful/multiply, and fill the earth, when Adam and Eve were placed in a rather small, localized area, in a garden?
Why does Genesis 1 say that God created male and female... when he obviously created Adam, then afterward decided to create Eve.

God Created, but the Image of God He specifically Created, human, was designed to always be overseer. God, or His Image, is always intended to be in Control.

Lot of questions. I believe Adam and Eve was made on the sixth day and the garden was probably not on the earth but called paradise and I know I am going deep on you.

Here is something that may or may not interest you. It was written by a man named Irenaeus that was taught by a discple of Apostle John and he tallked about creation.

CHURCH FATHERS: Against Heresies, V.23 (St. Irenaeus) (newadvent.org)

I have never heard that theory.... why would you think they were in some other location than the earth?

I've heard of Irenaeus, but have not read much of his writings. I'll read what you linked and get back to you...

I am speculating that the Garden of Eden was Paradise Jesus told the thief on the cross about. Scriptures say the Lord descended and also told the women do not touch me for I have not ascended to the Father yet. Why I believe Paradise is in the earth.

So, then you think Paradise is in Turkey? Because that's where Eden was, and the garden was in Eden.... out of Eden flowed 4 rivers, including the Tigris and Euphrates... at least according to Genesis...
