History tells us that this was the caveman, yet the bible says that it was Adam. Does this mean that Adam was a caveman? Or is one of them wrong? If so, which?

I used to think it was a caveman, but now I have read the bible and it is wrong. God made the world and all the animals and monkeys then put two people down in a garden. and they had lots of kids. thus..you and me. Don't you see?

I'm afraid that this doesn't clarify it at all for me. I once asked my religion teacher the same question at school and she replied that a lot of the bible was made up of parables! So you're argument contradicts that of a religious teacher. Now I'm even more befuddled.

Marge is absolutely right again. And all this stuff about Darwin's Theory of Convolution and chromophones and stuff is rubbish made up by heathen, godless scientists. Eve came from Adam's rib. It's in the Bible so it's true.
But where do monkeys come in all of this? Was adam a monkey, maybe like one of those cleavers ones, like wots been in the news lately, y'know the smoking one?

Who did the cave drawings then?

God put the cave paintings there to test you. And you've been found wanting, I'm afraid to say...

They (the so called scientists) don't know who Adam was. All they can say is that the most recent common ancestral father to all of us lived some time in the past.If us men  traced our Y chromosome back far enough we would all meet at that point. Around 60 000 years ago for adam and 140 000 years ago for Eve. Er, not very specific is it? And, how did they manage to mate living so many generations apart? I smell something fishy. 

The bible, however, can tell you exactly what adam was doing right down to fine details: like naming sheep and cattle and complaining his side was sore. Well, they obviously know much more about it so case closed.

"....Around 60,000 years ago for Adam, and 140,000 years ago for Eve..."

So Eve was 80,000 years old when Adam met her, then? I don't remember anything in the Bible about granny sh*ggers.

Adam was a necrophiliac? Are you all mad?
What explains the dinosaurs? They aren't mentioned in the bible.

I can see the movie now: "ADAM: UltraMILF hunter"

Aao1: you didn't see what eve looked like.
Adam and Eve were from another planet, they came down n taught all the cave people how to treat each other properly and not to keep bashing each other on the head with clubs. If Adam and Eve were the first man and woman and they had lots of children those children would have had to have children with each other so we would all be inbreds and they would be comitting incest which is surely a sin?
its bible verses science 

First men came from Africa and didn't need caves; it was plenty warm outside. The caveman business came when they moved to colder places like Europe.

I must say I've sometimes wondered who Cain and Abel married.

The Bible is wrong.
And Abel was fond of sheep, and sheep liked Abel better than Cain, and Cain grew jealous and slew Abel and Cain knew sheep his wife and sheep conceived and bare monkeys and monkeys wrote the good book and painted caves and god saw that it was good.
And of course this is just another parable.

hannahjo - monkeys don't come into this.  We were made in God's image, monkeys weren't.  Even suggesting that Adam was a monkey is blasphemous, I'm afraid.

jimmer - There is no problem at all with Eve being 80,000 years older than Adam if you think logically about it.  Women have always lived longer than men, so she just hung around for a while waiting for the right man to come along.  That Eve was made from Adam's rib is also perfectly true, even though she was born 80,000 years before him.  I mean, this is God we're talking about!!!  And before you say it - no, a time machine wasn't involved.  It was a simple space/time anomaly situation, quite in tune with the normal laws of physics that these heathen scientists are always harping on about.

Aa01 - 'What explains the dinosaurs?  They aren't mentioned in the Bible.'  Of course they were, you big dafty.  They were all a lot smaller and called 'chicken'.

Sophie_1003 - Adam and Eve's kids weren't commiting a sin, as incest isn't mentioned in the ten commandments so that's alright then.  Who Cain and Abel married isn't recorded, but you can be sure she was  lovely. 

The bible was composed over the best part of a thousand years, it is,nt the word of God its the word of man. It was compiled to spread a storybook image of how society should behave, to mainly illiterate peoples. It was also the power base of a multi-national conglomerate, called the Christian church.We are a product of evolution,not devine intervention.You might just as well pray to Richard and Judy, or your tumble drier than Jesus,because it wont make the slightest difference to events.Live now there isnt a second go
