If Adam and Eve were the first created in his image could it be there were others, cro-magnon for instance...Maybe the dinosaurs were here befor man....Maybe the 6000 year theory only pertains to man as we know it.....

Lion of Judah: What your saying is that there is no room for science and religion? If so where did the fossils come from? I don't buy the devil put them here to confuse us either...I have not read that anywhere in the Bible...
Again I stated Adam and Eve were created in his image...what about cro-magnon?

No, there is no conceivable possibility that evolution could be the mechanism behind the biblical account. Here are just two observable and verifiable facts that prove it:
1. Remains in the evolutionary record are dated back well beyond the biblical timescales - by a fact of 1,000,000,000%. This is not a small factor, and the dating is done in various reliable ways.
2. A gene pool of 2 individuals is known to be non-viable. The genetic variation of the human race could not have arisen from this over any time period, let alone 6,000 years.

I find it very easy to put both of them together....
God speaks and from nothing, all IS....
He sees that it is good.... but ....that soup that became life on Earth was slightly flawed and the beings that were on the planet were not quite what he had in mind (weren't enuff like him).... so He took the materials he needed and combined them and slightly changed the genetic makeup, to get him an Adam and Eve.... but they failed their test, so God sent them out into the world to become what they could .... their children mated with the 'undesired' of the world and things went on until Noah and the flood...
God didn't like what his creations had become, crossing the genetics all over the place, so he took the one family, Noah's, (since they were the closest to the right genetic code) and saved them while wiping the rest off the earth....
now we start over.....all the people of the earth now come from Noah's family..... and there's always ONE genetic line that is kept pure, so that one day, God can fiddle with the genes of a certain young gal and get us a Teacher like no other.....
we must remember that to God, one of our days is but a blink in time... his days are for us, a thousand years!.... which to me means this all is just a teenaged God's chemistry experiment.... what grade would YOU give him?....

It is possible. However, there is no evidence to support that theory, and the implication of it is that god either didn't think that humans could understand that he used evolution, or that he lied by relaying the creation story to Moses (or whoever). Neither option speaks highly of a being that wants our love.

Belief in evolution is completely contrary to the biblical account of creation. If you believe in evolution, you might as well throw out the gospels, the writings of paul, etc. It all ties together and you cannot dissaociate one from the other.
You can't hold to both without being completely schizo!
god bless

Remember, "god" is nothing more than a nonsense word created by man to explain away all of the things we can't yet understand.
Religion is a disease of the mind, born of fear, which has done nothing but bring untold misery down upon the human race.

No, what you are referring to is theistic evolution
variation on the theme of evolution is theistic evolution. It states that God initiated life on earth and allowed evolutionary principles to bring man to where he is--maybe with a little help from God here and there. At least this theory includes God. But this theory was developed in part by Bible believing people who thought that evolution had some merit. In addition, it is an attempt to answer the many problems existing not only in the fossil record but also with how life could somehow randomly form out of nothing. Because of problems like this, some believe they can be explained by simply adding God to the picture: God directed evolution.
For those who hold to the Bible as the word of God, theistic evolution should not be a viable option. The Bible says, "Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us..." (Psalm 100:3). The Scriptures state that God created. God said, "Let there be..." and there was. The Scriptures speak of the creative word of God. When God speaks; it occurs. He said "Let there be" and it was so. It does not say, "Let there be a slow development through an evolutionary process."
God said in Genesis 1:26, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." The Hebrew word for "make" in this verse and in verse 25 where God makes the beasts, is "asah." It means to do, work, make, produce. This is not simply the limited Hebrew understanding of evolutionary principles.
The land animals were made differently than man. The animals were made from the ground but man was made directly by God: "the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being" (Gen. 2:7). Evolution states that man evolved from life forms that developed in the ocean. Here, God made man from the dust of the ground--not the water of the ocean.
If evolution is true and the Bible is true then how is the formation of Eve explained? She was created out of one of Adam's ribs (Gen. 2:22). There is no way to explain this if theistic evolution is true; that is, unless you want to say that Eve wasn't made from Adam's side. Then, if you do that, you are doubting the very word of God.
Also, Jesus said in Mark 10:6 "But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.'" The beginning was not evolutionary slime; in the beginning of creation there was Adam and Eve.
Though this information is brief and far from complete, it should be obvious that theistic evolution and the Scriptures cannot be harmonized.

Evolution HAS to be Gods way of doing things. The story of creation just doesn't add up to scientific facts that "God" put in place.

Of course it could!
I've heard it said that God takes great delight in hiding the significant in the insignificant and men going to great lengths with their knowledge trying to disect it all to figure it out.
