and then we evolved from there?

Adam spent a very long time in the garden of eden... no one knows how long... i think this is entirely more possible than some of the other things I am asked to beleive by my faith...

No. The old testament was written in hebrew and the words for adam and atom are different. There is however a debate over whether adam's name was in fact adam. In hebrew the word for man is adam (ahh-dam), so when it says that God created Adam it could just be saying that God created man, not that He created a man named Adam.

No, God created Adam, period.
1. OBSERVATION -steps of evolution have never been observed (Stebbins )
In the fossil recordwe view our data as so bad that we never see the very process we profess to study.(Gould )
2. EXPERIMENTATION -The processes would exceed the lifetime of any
human experimenter (Dobzhansky )
3. REPRODUCTION impossible to reproduce in the laboratory. (Dobshansky )
4. FALSIFICATION -cannot be refuted thus outside empirical science. (Ehrlich )
RESEARCH PROBLEMS WITH MACROEVOLUTION:
1. ORIGINS -the chance of life originating from inorganic chemical elements by natural means is beyond the realm of possibility (Hoyle )
2. DEVELOPMENT -to produce a new organism from an existing life-form requires alterations in the genetic material which are lethal to the organism (Maddox )
3. STASIS -enzymes in the cell nucleus repair errors in the DNA (Barton )
4. GEOLOGIC COLUMN -out-of-place artifacts have been found in earth's sedimentary layers which disrupt the supposed evolutionary order (Corliss )
5. DESIGN -irreducible complexity within the structure of the cell requires design (Denton, Behe ).

which repair the DNA, where errors have been made or when the DNA is
damaged. - D.H.R. Barton, Professor of Chemistry, Texas A&M University,

(CHANGE WITHIN GENETIC BOUNDARIES: Microevolution does not lead beyond the confines of the species, and the typical products of microevolution,
the geographic races, are not incipient species. There is no such category as
incipient species. Richard B. Goldschmidt )
(MUTATION ACCUMULATIONS RELENTLESSLY FATAL: Any random change
in a complex, specific, functioning system wrecks that system. And living things
are the most complex functioning systems in the universe.Science has now
quantitated that a genetic mutation of as little as 1 billionth (0.0000001%) of an
animal's genome is relentlessly fatal.The genetic difference between human and
his nearest relative, the chimpanzee, is at least 1.6% Calculated out that is a
gap of at least 48 million nucleotide differences that must be bridged by random
changes. And a random change of only 3 nucleotides is fatal to an animal.

I think that's why Scientists named it the Atom. It sounds similar, although the etimology is now incorrect. The root word means indivisible and we know that is not true. It's also not the smallest part either. I'm sure there were other names considered. I'm wondering if the similarity meant some slyness on the part of science. Everyone forgets science can have a sense of humor, after all they did dub it the "big bang" which is not what the person who postulated it had in mind.

Adam was formed.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

So if god made Atom in his own image, then god is just an energy source that powers this existence and not some man in the sky...
I like this line of thinking. Would that make Eve then the first person, made of atoms?
Peace!

No GOD made Adam

Nope, Because He created Adam in His own image.

The bible is a huge didactic metaphor
e.g.:
A: Adam
B: Ba (there was no e sign in ancient Semitic languages)
C: Cain
AB= Abel
ETC

That would be funny if the Bible had been written in English.
