What would you say if Adam lived for Billions of years in paradise?
What would you say if creatures which closely resembled humans were present in paradise with Adam but did not have the same capacity as humans?
What would you say if all creatures worked together in perfect peace and harmony?
What would you say if No evolution took place but was actually the observation of these myriads of creatures which no longer exist?
Aside from spending all that time and effort trying to disprove God, or make God fit into the evolutionary mind set, all things that were ever observed were placed on this sphere for the human race to manage for the glory of God?
Not that it is very clear in the Bible but it is possible that God did all this because he could. Does it take any more faith to believe this then it takes to believe in evolution?

If you clearly examined the theories involved in evolution and looked at the scenario with an open mind you would see that it is a logical conclusion to draw based on the evidence. Creationism is based on faith and faith alone, all creationists do is find holes in the theory of evolution, and use that as evidence for a creator. It is still just a theory so of course there are some holes. I think it takes no faith to look at the evidence and say, "Yes evolution seems like a logical possibility." while saying "Look at how perfect are world is, there MUST be a creator!!" is solely based on faith.

The spinoff books of the previous testomony are in my humble opinion thoughts of the epics of creation from the Tigris Euphrates river basin. some say those myths have been carved into 6 pills and have been widespread to the early Ibri (Hebrews). i've got self assurance that there may well be some thing to the theories of Zechariah Sitchen who says proto human beings have been helped alongside with the help of a non terrestrial hominid race who necessary low-priced slave hard artwork to extract mineral and different ingredients from this planet. the quicker a holy scripture of a society grew to become into written the extra it has a tendency to assist the thought human beings have been in some way created. i've got self assurance a number of our movements are divinely inspired or maybe that the God of all gods suspends the regulations of actuality if it serves the gentle stability of area and time, remember and antimatter, being and nonbeing. i'm neither a strict linear evolutionist or an entire adherent to literal interpretations of creation. My technology and spirituality are no longer enemies, technology is HOW God makes the whilst, the the place, and the beginnings of the who. yet that leaves why, is it love? I pray so.

I suppose if you start from the premise that an omnipotent god exists, then anything would be possible, including humans who live for billions of years. However, wouldn't it be simpler to just accept scientific fact rather than continue to come up with new alterations on weird myths about lost paradises to support books like the bible which are no longer relevant?

Yes, it does take more faith to believe in the bible than to believe in reality. When you place your faith in the bible you are doing so because the bible itself says it's the word of god. There are no external indicators to support that claim. It would be exactly like someone believing i am the king of France simply because i told them i was. There is no evidence outside of my claim to support that the claim itself is factual.
What you are trying to do here is to ignore evidence and study and simply mold what little you know about evolution to fit what you think you know about your religion. Reality doesn't work this way, things are, and things aren't. You can believe something all you want but that never makes it true.

I don't think it's all that far out. I am a creationist, and have speculated that idea to a low degree. If I remember correctly, the Bible isn't clear exactly how long Adan and Eve lived in Eden, and since they were perfect and without sin, they were immortal, so I guess it's possible, though I don't really buy it.

Even the faithful don't believe in your scenario. It isn't even supported in your own bible. The doubters of evolution have only that bible as evidence. The evolutionists have a multitude of physical discoveries and the logical processes of science as their evidence.
Faith in modern science is not in our view comparable to faith in whatever "science" may have been available to support the mythological musings of your bible's creators.

Here is a thought, instead of making up new and improved myths you just accept facts and by proxy, reality? Then we can all agree and move forward by finding more facts instead of wasting our time discussing fantasy.

PICK ME!!! why is it everyone thinks that all evolutionists are atheists? it kills me...honestly, i think God has the power to use evolution as a tool for creation. why not? argue me this.

There can be scientific investigations for testing evolutionism-scenario.
There can't be for testing creationism-scenario.
I only trust scientific investigations in this field.
Then, I make my own view on this subject.

Nobody really knows, do they?
All any of us can do is speculate.
Evolution is also speculation...could have happened that way, but nobody really knows.
