Opposable thumb as well is the main characteristic discerning us and the primates. It enabled man to use complex tools and do all kinds of refined work which the Bible calls "cunning work" or another word for cunning, "subtle". It corresponded with subtlety in mental activity as well (the snake being man's flesh itself, imo, having capacity for subtlety - followed by brazen serpent and lifting up Son of man to redeem man from this corruptible capacity), physical grasping came together with mental "grasping" or desiring, and also "knowledge of good and evil" (conceptual thinking).

I think you might enjoy this read, it really influenced my understanding of creation week for good, never looked back to the old confusion since! I've always kind of known the creational week was never about time anyway...

This is based on far to much speculation,
1. that the other people where there
2. that a lot of time has not passed
3. that there were other men created before the fall. And considering that was a lawless society. Adam was not the first to sin
i would not read into something that is not said, I call that adding to the word

I used to think the 7 days were not literal days but an undetermined amout of time, and for a few decades was an avid GAP theory proponent.
about ten years ago, I started to study about the flood, and some of the books I read also touched on creation. I have since changed my view, I guess you could say, repented from being an old earth person to now being a young earth person.
people try to look to creation to try to explain science and what we see, when we see the flood is where they should be looking, much it earth science can be properly explained by the flood, things which we think would take millions of years (the Grand Canyon for example) we come to see can be accomplished in days from a major catastrophic event.
If we start studying from this perspective and ask questions, if this happened what would we see, we can see the very things which we would expect to see. And we can also see, things which have been long held views would be impossible (the river cutting the canyon out, which would have been impossible. The river would have had to float up hill.

And that only came about because of this false notion that is so prevalent, that satan possesses a personhood. This fairytale image with a trident, wings, and a pointy tail, even, is so damaging. He's seemingly omnipresent as if he were God, too, according to people's beliefs. The more you talk about what most Christians believe about satan the more you realize how ludicrous it sounds and how much it makes no sense with the Bible it's a full blown fairytale. How can anyone but God be omnipresent?

You really need to read the sources I posted before jumping to conclusion, I promise you'll likely be surprised, they DO NOT claim yom to be an undetermined amount of time, quite the opposite they oppose and point at issues with both "24 hours" and "a long time" understanding, and base this on the nature of Hebrew language. Have fun reading if you decide to look it up it's 3 articles but well worth the read.
Oh okay I see... Sorry... You started your response with yom as long period of time, so I thought you talked about the articles I posted... since that's the common alternative to 24hrs and mostly whoever disagrees with 24hr they believe that... but they contain yet another solution...

The genesis account is very important to understand.
Genesis 1 is a overview of what was created while genesis 2 starts laying out foundational truths that are found throughout the bible.
Remembering God creates for a purpose not randomly. Much to gleen from the scriptures.
Scripture tells us the plan of redeeming was before the foundations of the earth which should tell us that God already knew the fall would happen.
God created man out of the dust of the earth. Woman was formed out of man being a diffrent creation event .
Woman was created as a help mate to the man. Adam considered the woman bone of his bone flesh of his flesh showing the bond of marriage. Also striking down the possibility of a spiritual body.
Notice adam never talked about the blood only bone and flesh.
Much to glean and understand.
Every tree of its kind yet the 2 trees in the midst of the garden were singular.
Satan as a serpent a beautiful creation to behold yet none the less a serpent. Which eats its pray whole.
Stars, sun, moon, for appointed times and seasons. The flood of noah changed the face of the earth but never effected the heavens above.
Lots in the scriptures to think about.
