lol someone was telling me that in the bible when it says that God made Adam from dust then breathed life into his nostrils that it wasn't a man but the first living thing in which we all evolved from.Does anyone agree with that?

I'm curious to know if anyone agrees with that in a way and how they disagree with it.

No.
The name "Adam" itself means "man"

For one thing, according to the story, God had already created the various life forms, and went on to create a man, which was Adam. That sequence of events does fit in with those who think the Bible is describing a much longer process of creation and development of life.

It is a point of view that I know a number of people hold.
They can then be split into two groups
1 - Where God tinkers and therefore is a caring God.
2 - Where God just set off an experiment to see where it would go.
Changing of species is true and has been shown to happen with animals where the lifepan is in days, e.g. flies.

No, the Bible referers to Adam as a man. Adam means man or mankind in Hebrew.

No, I don't think anybody understood evolution back when the Bible was written. Regardless, the Bible does not disprove scientific fact.

Considering that eacy "day" ("yom" in Hebrew) is defined as an evening and a morning, for evolution to be true, you need 1,000s of years (let's say 60,000 just to round it out).
If each of these 6 days was 60,000 years, in which each day was 10,000 years, that would mean that at any one spot on earth, each day would consist of 5,000 years of darkness followed by 5,000 years of sunshine, and that is NOT conducive to evolution!
Besides, for the earth to rotate on it's own axis at 10,000 years per day, the earth would be virtually standing still, and would never be able to build up any real speed.

No, I don't. But then I am a Creationist. I don't think that theory would even work for those who believe in evolution.
The trouble is with the theory of evolution today, is so many people are trying to be Creationist/evolutionists. Doesn't make much sense.
A Creator is the only logical answer.

now THAT's a stretch
but not an illegal "reading between the lines"
from Sumeria, to Egypt, to Canaan, to Judah, to Jerusalem and Israel, to being smashed and scattered, to paganism, to christianity, to catholicism, to protestantism...to modern times
how is THAT not evolution?

can't be true because the animals are already made by the time he made Adam. so even if that was evolution it certainly did not come from an animal.

Scripture says sin brought death. Evolutionism says that death, and survival of the fittest created man. There is no way to harmonize the two.

It is considered by some the that the name "Adam" was actually the term for "Mankind" as "Eve" was the term for "Womankind".
I believe Creation and Evolution both exists in Harmony as Karma and Grace, the Yin/Yang.
