Bible dosen't say Adam was the First Human Being on the Earth.
Ecclesiastes chapter one, says that there has been many Generations on the Earth, some have been forgotten(million years would almost Erase about eveything).

Actually, the Bible does say Adam was the first. On the sixth day, God created man... Adam. Then there are several genealogies in the Bible, all beginning with Adam. I do however believe that Earth is very old. God did not err, man may have not calculated measure in the same way that God did. Isn't it possible that we cannot comprehend the thoughts of God? Don't we ALWAYS try to fit God into our thought/logic? And if He did fit, wouldn't He no longer be God? I like the path you took with your question, but it begins with an error. I'm sorry. There have been those who assert that Adam was not the only man created by God, but none that assert he was not the first.

Yes, I believe the earth is old- at least 15,000 years old but not millions and billions. I firmly believe Adam was the first human being on earth and in Ecclesiastes, I think it means after Adam, there were many, many generations, which of course there was.

Ecclesiastes 1:4 - "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh.." This is the only verse in the chapter that references generations and there is no clue to there being millions of years. Sorry, but you'll have to come up with a better one. And you will have to ignore all the Scripture that points to a recent creation (in terms of thousands vs. millions of years). Fortunately our salvation does not depend on such understanding, but there does need to be some trust that what God's Word says is true.

You're all wrong... If you'll just do the math, you'll come to the proper conclusion, which is that the earth is only fourteen days old.
The bad news, none of us are legal drinking age.
The good news, none of the groceries in your fridge have gone off.

Isn't it at least 450,000,000 years old? You know, give or take seven days! ha ha ha. I can never wrap my mind around those imbeciles who think the world like like 6,000 years old. Christ! There were already civilizations around by then. Humans are around 100,000 years old just as a subspecies.
