Where are cavemen in the bible?

Question

If god created adam and eve first and they had kids and all that, and they knew language and got civilized then where the hell did the uncivilized cavemen come in???

Answer 1

the Bible does describe a period of traumatic upheaval (the Flood – Genesis chapters 6-9) upon the earth during which time civilization was utterly destroyed and men were forced to start over. It is in this historical context that some scholars believe that men lived in caves and made use of stone tools. These men were not primitive; they were simply destitute. And they certainly weren't half ape. The fossil evidence is quite clear: cavemen were human (hence the term cave-"men," men who lived in caves).

Answer 2

The key word here is prehistoric. PRE-history. No recorded historical account. Neanderthals (cavemen) existed before the time the bible was written.

If "prehistoric" times never existed, if all of history is recorded, who taught the first beings how to read and write?

If historical accounts have been kept for all of history, when did they begin, what language did they use?

Neanderthals and other prehistoric creatures were already most likely extinct by the time of biblical events.

Answer 3

The Bible is barely an exceedingly tough comic strip of God's dealings with guy. If each and every thing have been secure, the full universe ought to no longer comprise the books, so very lots in the info of introduction ought to be skipped over. The previous testomony incorporates purely those writing necessary to steer the chosen human beings to Christ, and the hot testomony is a few chosen works of Jesus Christ placed down in writing, for in case you look on the final verse of the Gospel of John, it says: "there have been many different issues that Jesus did; if all have been written down, the worldwide itself, i think, does no longer carry all the books that should ought to be written. ---

Answer 4

The bible is a related history of the Hebrew race with an short showing of how the world was created.
It continues with the birth, death, resurrection of Jesus. A digest of how a Christian should live and a brief description of a second coming and judgment. It does not cover the caveman period. God gave science the knowledge to find those answers.

Answer 5

The Bible is not necessarily the history of the world.
It is the account of God offering reconciliation between Himself and man. First through the law and finally through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

I had a Sunday School teacher who corrected me whenever I said something about "prehistoric" times. According to him, there is no such thing -- historical accounts have been kept for all of history.

I suspect that if you run into a Genesis literalist, they will tell you the same thing about cavemen.

Answer 7

They're everywhere. Haven't you seen the Geico commercials?

Answer 8

Caves were used to store goods, to put animals in to ride out blizzards...to hide in...when traveling to get out of bad weather ....to bury the dead.....cisterns, permanent dwellings, meeting places.
But cave men that y'all think of never existed. Mankind was perfect from the beginning. In fact Adam the first man named all of the animals and plants.

Answer 9

Neanderthal humans are not to be spoken of by Christians. It would ruin their "perfect Bible" as they are never mentioned. It's a no win for Christians because if they admit Neanderthal humans existed they would have to admit they were a part of evolution that did not work, or that their "creation" was left out of Genesis.
