Answer 1

1: Genesis does not say that Adam was the first man. The family of Adam is followed because it's a direct bloodline of Jesus. After Cain killed Abel he was concerned that others would kill him. Doesn't this prove there were other humans around already?

2: They lived and died in the "5 days" before God created man. Yes, I know, that doesn't seem like a long time, but read my answer to number 8.

3: 2 of each. Don't know the total.

4: To "sin" means "to miss the mark." It stems from archery. We aim for perfection, but whenever we miss or stumble, we're "sinning."

5: God is, was, and will be. Our finite minds only know beginnings and endings. We're born, we live, we die. We can't comprehend eternity anymore than a caveman could comprehend space travel.

6. After God destroyed the tower of Babylon, He scattered the people over the earth. When you grow in different environments, it's logical that you'll change over a few thousand years.

Genesis 11:9 - "That is why it was called Babel [ That is, Babylon; Babel sounds like the Hebrew for confused . ] —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth."

7: Almost every culture has record of Noah's Flood at roughly the same time. A great book to read is "Noah's Flood: The Conclusive Evidence" by Walter Parks. There is evidence of high waters and fossilized shellfish and extinct sealife at elevations on top of mountains all over the world.

8: It's estimated that the Earth is between 4.5 billion - 4.8 billion years old. True, Christians believe that it was created at appx. 4000 BC, but who's to say how long each of the 7 days God work in? Billions of years by our reckoning may have passed in the time it took Him to establish the Greater and Lesser lights.
Genesis 1:16 - "God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars."

9: The royal Egyptian cubit was 20.62 inches. Now, if we consider the Biblical statement that Moses was "learned in all the wisdom of Egypt" - Acts 7:22, as the author of Genesis, he would have been referring to the only cubit he knew. 300 cubits = 515.5 feet. 50 cubits = 85.9 feet.

Answer 2

You stated to respond to this question actual, and actual I accept as true with you. i don't choose others. I even have accomplished many undesirable issues in my existence consisting of a terrible stint with drug utilization. i understand my flaws and that i don't think of you may purely say sorry and be forgiven. I even have cried and repented for my previous strikes that's why i'm so religious now, i understand the discomfort without God on your existence. So i don't see why you does not answer my question are not we on the comparable website? i understand I make blunders, and no i don't have faith each and everyone seems to be suited much less Christians, so specific i will say i'm a competent Christian, inspite of the shown fact that i could be greater useful.
