Why do you think God created Adam and Eve as adults?

Answer 1

The Bible never said how old they were.

Answer 2

As much as I am a Christian I don't believe in Genesis. No-one was there to document it and it denies many things that have been proven (like dinosaurs).
We're never going to know for sure what happened until we can ask the ultimate creator (if you believe in him) so you're not going to get an accurate answer here.
Right now all we can do is keep an open mind, nothing has been proven without a shadow of a doubt and I doubt anything ever could. Evolution sounds the most likely of he theories but it can't be guaranteed, I'm not willing to put all my faith in man, especially men who were not around to witness the beginning of the earth.
I don't think it's wrong to believe in the possibility of evolution either. God can exist and evolution and the big bang still be feasible because someone had to cause the big bang and evolution.
I'm more than patient enough to wait til later to find out the truth (if we ever do). I don't know why people HAVE to know everything anyway, we're never going to so people need to find something else to do.

Answer 3

So by your logics, as soon as a person turns 21 they are no longer capable of learning how to interact in society or handle difficult situations. If an adult is put into a situation in which they had no previous experience, they are "mentally handicapped". Adam and Eve had to learn many of those things at a later stage in life than do most babies. But they also had the advantage that God walked and talked with them in the garden and was able to advance their education quicker then a normal baby would learn. Nothing in the situation implies that they were in any way mentally handicapped. You can still learn things after you are 21. How many people have had to adapt to different situations or moved to differetn cultures after they are 21 and been able to handle it. Sorry, but that is a very weak argument.

Answer 4

Because God originally did not plan for man and women to have children until God punished Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit. The punishment was that Adam must work in the fields very hard from morning to night, and Eve must feel the pain of giving birth to children.

Answer 5

Eve had to be tall enough to pick an apple from the fully mature, and loaded with fruit, apple tree that was placed nearby. Also, children may have been confused when the snake starting speaking.

Answer 6

He was lazy and didn't want to change diapers or get up at 4:00 in the morning in order to feed the babies. He also would have had to take much more responsibility for their actions since he raised them. He just wanted to create and tempt. No love, just a crazy experiment

Answer 7

Cos he was allededly trying to get the human race started and couldnt afford to wait for years!
Plus a child would have just been eaten by a snake instead it had to tempt Eve with an apple, allededly! She must have been blonde cos othrwise she would have held out or a bar of chocolate at the very least!

Answer 8

If I believed the story I would say that he needed them to breed so having made kids he couldn't have bred from them. Teenagers even make the most powerful of beings tear their hair out so opting for a breeding pair was sensible.

Answer 9

I can't stand it...I just have to give you my initial response..even though it may seem to belittle someone.

My answer: Because He didn't want to have to go through the teen years with them.

My apologies to young people. I was just remembering what it was like when my kids were teens. They are all grown up now...praise God.

Answer 10

Who the hell would want 2 naked kids running about?

Gardens need a lot of looking after so he couldn't be watching them every 2 seconds as well.

Answer 11

Because like most men, he's not interested in the kids until they're old enough to go to the pub.
