If Adam and Eve were the first people on earth and there's proof of cavemen, then what the heck happened?

Question

I mean, Adam and Eve weren't as stupid as cavemen, they were quite intelligent. So what the heck happened? Oh yeah, and if Adam and Eve weren't supposed to eat fruit from that tree, then why did God create it in the first place...?

Answer 1

Who said that cave men were stupid? God created the forbidden fruit to give man free will . Man made the wrong choice.

Answer 2

Science and the Bible don't mix. Science is just trying to make people believe that you can't believe anything that doesn't have cold hard facts to back it up. They can't just believe that God is real. They pick random things, and say they're cavemen. But who really knows that there where cavemen. No one was alive then that's alive now either. And based on what others have said so far, that's what's happening. They do believe that science is right because there's 'facts' behind it. But people shouldn't go out and say there is only facts for sciends without knowing. There are cold hard facts that God is reall too! As far the tree, God made it to show that humans have a choice, and that they get to decide is they want to believe in Him or not. He was showing that it was their decision, and that He would respect it, but there would be consequences. The punishment of sin is death, and all you have to do is follow God. I know that other people will have other opinions, but this is mine, and no one has to agree with it, but it's the truth, and by the way, if Christians were just spinless people who believe everything, i wouldn't be writing all this to stand up for whast i believe in. I would believe all these people.

Answer 3

No, Adam and Eve were very intelligent (they were pre-programmed with God's own intelligence), but they were disobedient. I believe that all the people before the Flood were very intelligent, and they lived for hundreds of years, therefore they had no need of books. Everything was stored in their mind and handed down to the next generation.
However, after the Flood, Noah and his family got off the boat to meet a devastated world. There were no "hardware stores" or "grocery stores" where they could go and get food and supplies. Despite their intelligence, they had a "Gilligan's Island" situation. They had to start out by wearing skins and using simple tools, until they could find the ore in the mountains with which to build more complex tools. Even evolutionists admit that the fossil record shows an "explosion of more complex weapons" rather suddenly. Their theory is that somehow, a sudden change in the human brain allowed them to invent better weapons after having used simple weapons for hundreds of thousands of years. My theory is that they were already very intelligent; they were just using what they had available for a while. They already knew metallurgy; but that knowledge was useless until they could mine the ore for metal weapons.
I don't believe that Neanderthals were "mindless brutes" like popular science and Geico commercials portray. I think they were very intelligent, but they were in a "survival" situation for a while until they could get the resources they needed. Once they got the resources, then they started building complex civilizations like the Egyptians, Mayans, Inca, and Chinese. Other cultures lost the knowledge that had been handed down from Noah or simply didn't have the necessary resources, and never built any complex societies, such as the Aborigines, some Africans and others.
As far as the Neanderthals' thickened brow ridges, this is a natural occurence as one ages and grows thicker with extreme age. If they were still living a few hundred years after the Flood, this would explain the brow ridges.

Answer 4

Cave men must be from the Genesis 1 creation. Adam and Eve are from the Genesis 2 creation. Like many remakes, the first one was better but everybody remembers the characters in the second one. As far as the tree, god's always been a joker. Just ask Job.

Answer 5

Maybe Adam & Eve were intelligent cavemen.

God created that fruit tree as the first and original decision based on free will.

Answer 6

Adam and Eve were not the first people on Earth, and it says so in Genesis in the Bible. God had created earlier races of people before Adam and Eve, and scientists have proven it. The earlier people were called "Sons of Man" in the Bible and they were supposedly much larger than Adam and Eve.

My personal opinion is that the people before Adam and Eve were God's experiment. He learned from them and created Adam and Eve.

Answer 7

Good question but adam and eve are more like a story told to a child.the ecact process of how creation happened is not known to man the the apostle paul said for now we see through a dim glass.the bible does not address all of the secrets of the universe if it did we would be bored and have no need for science

Answer 8

i'm afraid there was no adam and eve but genetically it has been worked out that the female descendent of us all and the male descendent of us all lived at different times. worked out by genetics. plus the idea of the fruit is to show as a morality tale that we shouldn't always followthorugh with things that tempt us, obvious connotations are sex before marriage and adultory, this story hopes to insue a conscience. i personally am agnostic, but if ada m and eve ate from the tree good on em, if god wanted them to have the option of having it, then its their chioce to eat it, u don't arrest people for cheating (not yet anyway).

Answer 9

Some people drew on a wall and they called it cavemen. they found an extinct pig and called it cavemen... the list goes on. God created the tree so man would have a choice. free will is nothing without a choice. He told them if you eat you'll die. What else do you want?

Answer 10

I think it had to do with that little piece of fruit that Eve not only ate but tempted Adam to eat as well and Utopia was no more.

Think about it, God gave them everything that was necessary to lead a peaceful and fulfilling existence and when His one rule was broken He left them/us to our own devices. With a completely broken heart as his very own children had disobeyed and disappointed him he had to let us fend for ourselves because providing all for us did not go as He'd foreseen. Or, maybe it did.

He created the apple as a test to see if His word/request/rule or what ever you want to refer to it as would be adhered to as He knew He had also given us free will.

Good question by the way.
