Supposing that Adam and Eve were our first of ancestors. And writers of the bible didn't know about Homo Erectus, Homo Habilis, Neanderthal, or Homo Ergaster. (Because technology to discover this back then did not exist) How can it be disproved that Adam and Eve did not pertain to a prehistoric human race? Keep in mind that consiousness was gathered from the tree. Did the tree make the transition between unconscious beings and create the start of conscious beings? If so then Adam and Eve would have been born of one race, and slowly begun the transformations of future of races.
What if both science and religion could come together on this subject. After all, You can't disprove Creationism if the biblical writers did not have proper understanding of the elements within evolution. In this case Evolution doesn't disprove Creationism, only creates a potential for understanding ignorance amongst biblical writers.
Any opinion on why this isn't plausible?

There are many issues with the evolution theory. One is that there are missing steps in the evolution of various animals. One being the frog that appears in most science books in public schools. As it turns out one of the steps was faked because nobody can find proof for the step. Also, the big bang is illogical because the universe would have kept expanding, which it has not and would have contracted by now, which it has not.
Some people believe in what is called the gap theory. This theory states that there was gaps in time between the seven days of creation (God rested on the seventy). These gaps could be many if not millions of years.
Personally, I believe in what the Bible says. God is powerful enough to create the world in seven days.

Most Christians don't have a problem with evolution.
Me, I don't know if it is a fact or not...it could be, I suppose, but I don't see that there really is enough evidence to prove it...and I do see a few dishonest folks "not-mentioning" certain "evidence" that either turned out to be a hoax (like piltdown man) or honest mistakes which were later corrected (like that display showing how the horse developed)...dishonesty like that does make me suspicious that something is being hidden.
Still, I was taught evolution in school, and it didn't hurt me a bit, or weaken my Christian faith.
What DOES make me fighting mad is when a few people want to teach evolution AS A REPLACEMENT for God.
I can't for the life of me see why we must sit still and let atheists force their beliefs down our throats...

I don't think the Adam & Eve as being ancestral is so much the dividing line between Creationists and Evolutionists as the idea that Adam was created out of nothing in the course of one day, and Eve then came from his rib.
That's all pretty un-scientific.

Very few Christians have a problem with evolution. Only a fringe group of Christian extremists take Genesis literally.
Catholics make up over half the Christians in the world. I was taught in Catholic grade school, Catholic High School and Catholic Unviersity that evolution is true. Even the last Pope said that "evolution is much more than mere theory."

Evolutionism says that death, and survival of the fittest created man.
Scripture says YHVH created man, and sin created death. I only had a couple of years of logic, but I don't see any way those views can be harmonized.

Scripture does NOT exclude evolution. All you have to do ..is to READ it to find that out.
Also..please, use a dictionary to look up the word ignorance. EVERYONE is ignorant in some way. That means EVERYONE.

And what if the bones of Suzi, the oldest known humanoid bones known to date, were actually the bones belonging to Eve?
That would mean humans DID evolve from primates.

No evolution and creationism cannot co-exist. God created earth and the universe; evolution is wrong.

No, science cannot be reconciled with a fairy tale that features a talking snake and a magic tree.
