which year were Eve/Adam created?

Answer 1

I believe the myth places them around 4004 BC

Answer 2

The Adam and Eve story was passed down over many generations so nobody knows, or even whether they are based on any living people

Answer 3

In 1871 some Bible-believing people said that 1873 would mark 6,000 years from the creation of Adam. Here's a quote from the February 1881 'Zion's Watch Tower' magazine, p 188: 'Looking back to 1871, we see that many of our company were what are known as Second Adventists... The light they held was that there would be a second advent of Jesus... This they claimed would occur in 1873, because the 6,000 years from the creation of Adam were complete then. Well, 1873 came, the end of 6,000 years, and yet no burning etc... Carefully they examined the chronology but it seemed faultless and positively declared that the 6,000 years ended in 1873... yet now all these things which had been thought light seemed to be proved darkness.'

In 1913 their President, C T Russell, wrote a book where he said, "Here we furnish the evidence that from the creation of Adam to A.D. 1873 was six thousand years." So they were sticking to this 'light' in the book 'The Time is at Hand'.

Fast forward 62 years to a speech to a JW missionary graduating class in New York on 2 March 1975. F. W. Franz, vice-president of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, said September 1975 would mark 6,000 years from Adam's creation. "He stressed that, according to dependable Bible chronology, 6,000 years of human history will end this coming September according to the lunar calendar. This coincides with a time when 'the human species [is] about to starve itself to death," as well as its being faced with poisoning by pollution and destruction by nuclear weapons. Franz added: "There's no basis for believing that mankind, faced with what it now faces, can exist for the seventh thousand-year period" under the present system of things. (1st May 1975 'Watchtower' magazine, October 1975 p 285).

However, he added "we do not know how short was the time interval between Adam's creation and the creation of Eve, at which point God's rest day of seven thousand years began." But, he pointed out, "we should not think that this year of 1975 is of no significance to us," for the Bible proves that Jehovah is "the greatest chronologist" and "we have the anchor date, 1914, marking the end of the Gentile Times." So, he continued, "we are filled with anticipation for the near future, for our generation."

I make these 2 quotations to answer your question in a back-to-front sort of way: it is patently obvious that Adam and Eve were not created 6,000 years prior to 1873, or 6,000 years prior to 1975.

Answer 4

Forgetting the religious argument for a while, this may interest you. The human geneome project actually show that ALL men have a single common ancestor. All women have a common ancestor too.

These two people, unfortunately lived about 8000 years apart though...... go figure.

Good question.

Answer 5

Adam and Eve were created on the sixth day fo the first year.

(from Young’s Analytical Concordance of the Holy Bible, 1879 8th Edition, 1939—entry under ‘Creation’)

‘Dr Hales, in his work entitled, “A New Analysis of Chronology and Geography, History and Prophecy,”? (vol. 1, p. 210 [published in 1830]), remarks: “In every system of chronology, sacred and profane, the two grand eras—of the Creation of the World, and of the Nativity of Christ—have been usually adopted as standards, by reference to which all subordinate epochs, eras and periods have been adjusted.”? He gives a list of 120 dates, commencing B.C. 6984, and terminating BC 3616, to which this event has been assigned by different authorities, and he admits that it might be swelled to 300. He places it at BC 5411. The date commonly adopted is BC 4004; being that of Ussher, Spanheim, Calmet, Blair, etc., and the one used in the English Bible [KJV].’

Ussher was of course a highly intelligent scholar and did a great deal of research to come up with his figure.
The mockers would do well to study the evidence with a fraction of his diligence.

The Bible is very clear that the earth is young. Jesus himself said "But at the beginning of Creation God 'made them male and female'." That is Adam and Eve were not created billions of years after the beginning!

Jesus clearly understood Genesis to be a historical account. Any Hebrew scholar will confirm that it is written in this genre, and not as myth, allegory, poetry etc.

So has the church through most of its history, including Luther, Calvin

Modern scienctific evidence, of course, is fully compatible with this young date. Most dating methods indicate that the earth is young.

Answer 6

If you assume that they were real people, the Hebrew puts their origins at around 4000 BC, while the Septuagint dates them some 2000 years earlier. Exact dates are hard to assume, because the Bible stops tracking numbers of years when it gets to the book of Judges.

Answer 7

Perhaps you should be asking, in which year were Adam and Eve invented.

Answer 8

The best calcutation I could come up with is C4076BC. the first written mention of them has been dated at 700BC.

Answer 9

There is no answer for this because it is not a historical fact that Adam and Even were "created" at all.

Answer 10

Year 1, BC. The calender and dates are based on the birth and death of Christ. We live in 2007 AD, so give the negative answers a break.
