Mankind was created on the 6th day. God caused everything to happen. if you look at the Bible then you can trace anything that you was a back more than 5000 years. We were the 6th days creation and no matter what anyone says God is the Beginning.

Mankind did not fall.
The Israelites did flee Egypt maybe 5000yrs ago. But a flood with an Ark filled with all sorts of animals an insects in all likely hood did not happen.

The modern human race is roughly 100 to 50 thousand years old. Humanoid ancestors were around long before that.
Of the examples you have cited only the Israelites fleeing Egypt is likely to be partially true, the other is a parable and mankind has yet to fall.

I think the human race has existed for at least 2 million years. I think the first clans of hunter gatherers organized into tribes about 300k-500k years ago due to enviromental changes that forced specilization of different individuals and the support of numbers, for instance the children could be looked after by one or two women instead of each by their own mother, males made hunting bands, others went farming and herding trade began, and so the nomadic life ended. Cities or villages sprung up near fertile rivers and trade routes. Civilizations developed about 50-30 thousand years ago as different villages started to gain dominance over their nieghbors and banded into larger countries or empires. But about during that period great turmoil developed in earths enviroment as at least 2 major world wide floods engulfed and destroyed the civilizations that were developed, at about 15000 bc the civilization of Atlantis was the dominant empire on earth but at about 10000 bce as the last ice age ended the last great flood destroyed 90% of the world human population(NOah) and at about 7000 bce our human civilization began again in Sumer and other places.

i feel its roughly about 50 thousand years old. give or take a decade. And i'm starting as far back as when apes were starting to lose their hair and walk upright.
As for the rest of the bible crap...does it really matter? Just know that when you die you'll know the truth but by then it will too late to rub it in my face.

Adam fell about 6000 years ago.
Befor that, in the last 4 to 5 billion years (+ or - a couple of years or two), WHO KNOWS?
I believe in Genesis, chapter 1 and 2, the first "GOD made humans" started 4 to 5 billion years ago--the second GOD made humans (Adam and Eve) started about 6000 years ago.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
You can believe what you like, this is my belief.

There never was a global flood.
We originated in Africa 500,000-1 million years ago.
