The Jewish calendar puts the year at 5768, it has been that long since Adam has been created, or at least was expelled from the Garden.

We know that when Adam was created God told him to be fruitful and mulitply, to REPLENISH the earth, seem to me he wouldn't say that unless the earth had been full at some time before Adam was created.

Doesn't say what was here on earth before Adam, only that something or someone(s) was here.

It also says that God created the earth in six days, and on the seventh he rested. It does NOT say that these were Seven CONSECUTIVE days, only that it was seven days.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Mt. 19.4 · Mk. 10.6

28 And God blessed them, Gen. 5.1, 2 and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.


The point here being that it doesn't rule out the earth being older than 5768 years.

Whatever you do, read what ever you can, DO NOT take mine or anybody else's WORD for it, make up YOUR own mind, but investigate the matter for yourself.

The one thing you can be sure of, be it science or faith, every question answered will bring forth more questions, that is eternal, peace and madness lie within, choose wisely. :-)
