bible says Adam & Eve was born 5000 BC where did the cave men come from?

Answer 1

The Bible is wrong.

and btw, its Adam and STEVE dummy.

Answer 2

OK 5000 years ago?
Cave men..may be Adam and eve was like a selected new gene pool. It just happened right around the same time civilization started. interesting...
Was through their off spring we are here today. We traced all women's genes to one place in Africa. There is no big mish mash of man kind.
Not to be rude, but to many people come here to prove the bible wrong. Like we can send man to the moon and have all this tech, Yet we still can not prove the bible is wrong, some have just have faith that it is wrong. It seems so wasteful.

Answer 3

The Bible does not say Adam and Eve was born five thousand BC. Show me your reference. You are just making things up now. Why do you think we should believe you about the cave man if you cant even get that right.

Answer 4

The Bible does not state that Adam and Eve were created in 5000 BC, rather that this world is approximately 6000 years old.

Adam to the flood is 2000 years, the flood to Jesus Christ is 2000 years and from Christ to present, is 2000 years.

Cavemen, are from the evolutionary theory, which believes the world is 570 million years old.

It is impossible to believe in evolution and the Bible together. How is this? The theory of evolution states that through the different layers of strata, from the pre-cambrian, to the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic, living creatures evolved and died, beginning with the pre-Cambrian. Through the different strata, the creatures increased in size, so in the last strata, you have dinosaurs, then on the very top is man. In other words man stands a top fossils which were living at one time or another.

This is all fine, but if you believe God's word, you know that nothing died, before man sinned. In the Garden of Eden, there was no death, until Eve plucked that fruit. The Bible clearly tells us in Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

So, you can't have death and dying before sin. Where do the cavemans come from - the evolutionary theory. Remember, its just a theory. The Bible is not. It IS.

Answer 5

In my opinion I do think the timeline is a bit inaccurate or off. We really don't know how old the earth really is. All we really know is that the 7 days was not a 24 hr period. It could have been thousands of years or millions for all we know. (Fact is nobody is really sure, so they assume, or guess. And it's possible to say the Dinosaurs were FIRST, then MAN.) And in my opinion *Adam can be linked to the caveman in various ways. And I think our preception of a cave man is wrong. I saw a "Replica" of a caveman at a museum, and he had "Stubble." How would a caveman know how to shave? OR cut his hair? And if the caveman evolved from the Ape, how could he concieve the idea of him being naked when everything around him would be considered natural?

Answer 6

That does kind of present something of a problem for literal intepretations of the Bible/Koran/Torah/Upanishads.

It's not according to many interpretations of Christiandom not inappropriate to use metaphor where appropriate. St. Augustine of Hippo was an advocate of reasoned discourse of the Gospels, with a discussion once, chiding a fellow Christian for literally interpreting some point of Liturgy (it is not mentioned which point). Paraphrasing he says that more or less "one must not be unable to reason, that we must never present ourselves (Christians) as fools unto even the Pagan, if something is commonly knowable we should as good Christians embrace that knowable with common sense."

So for most points of liturgy where there are physical impossibilites or other such statements, we must seek the metaphorical meaning.

The 5000 or 6000 years or so is arbitrary based on the calculation backwards from Christ through time to Adam assuming far more about dates and ages then is present in the modern Bible, this is a relatively nice but useless date.

Is it important as Christians if the world was created, 4000 years ago or 4,000,000,000 year ago.

Practically speaking the message of the prophets and those of Christ are unchanged. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Is an independent statement which requires no calendar to prove it's validity, it is simply and obviously true. Similar statements exist in almost every religion....Why...

Perhaps because it is the truth.

Good luck in your search for meaning.

Answer 7

The Bible does not say that. Bishop of Usher calculated a date of 4004 on his own. The Bible suggests the cave men in the struggle of Cain - farmer and Abel - herder.
Cavemen lived in a preliterate, virtually pre-communication society. Their stories/history have not been handed down other than in primitive mysthologies like the Babylonian Genesis.

Answer 8

Jehovah's Witnesses have calculated that mankind has been around for around 6000 years or so. It's not a MAJOR thing we teach but it does make a differnce when pple start saying things evolved. It's amazing how scientists find a SINGLE little miniscule bone and say "oh...man must have been around for millions of years." OR they find a monkey skeleton that looks like a human skull & say "yep, we came from these." Admittedly, we resemble monkeys but why did evolution suddenly stop??? & does that mean worms turn into snakes? Simply put, "cavemen" didn't exist. Maybe a few who lived in caves for just to live in them. But not the hairy, stone-age, monkey ones they tell us about.

Answer 9

Adam and Eve were not born, they were created.
The cave men come from caves.

Do not go around mixing stories, it is like when the jetsons meet the flinstones, they do not get along very well.

Answer 10

I personally believe there was another race of people here before Adam and Eve. The first chapter of Genesis has a few clues that lead me to think that. For example, God tells Adam and Eve to "replenish the earth"....how do you replenish what never was there?

I think there was another race and a great flood. Noah's flood was the second time and then God promised not to flood the earth again. If that was the first time I wonder why he would need to promise that?

Answer 11

LOL I dont think there is a specific DATE given when Adam and Eve were CREATED (not born, as they were never children) but where else would people live before they learned construction? CAVES!!
