Adam had no parents. God made him from the dust in less than a 24hr period

Who is your creator?

If you answer "God", then what are your parents?

God created Adam the same way He created you, through his parents. I assume that Adam's parents had no soul. But who knows what Genesis means exactly.

I'm sure you will say that Adam was a "special creation". Great. Show me where Genesis says that God created Adam differently from where Adam's children's wives came from. Oh, Genesis left that out? Well, it left out lots of stuff. You can't put too much detail in just a few hundred words. The gaps in Genesis are big enough to drive evolution, geology, paleontology, astronomy, astrophysics, and any number of scientific fields through in their Mack Trucks. Those are the fields that you would have to ignore in order to believe in a literal 6 day creation.

I'm sure you'll have answers, but save it.

My faith in God is't threatened by evolution. It's too bad your faith is so weak.

My parents are not my creator, they are my procreators (begeters). My parents are being faithful to God's command to be fruitful and multiply. God created the first pair of humans who enjoy and delight in the mechanism God created to reproduce human life. And this sacred institution has been functioning in this manner for several thousand years.

Show me where Genesis says that God created Adam differently from where Adam's children's wives came from.

Genesis 1:27 "And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Genesis 2:7 "Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." Genesis 2:22) "And the Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man."

God created Adam from the dust. He created Eve from the man. (Both Adam and Eve had special creations.) Cain, Abel, Seth ... were conceived through God's command to Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). This Adam's sons' wives were his (Adam's) female decendents. (My wife is one of Adam's female decendents through Noah; not sure which one of his sons.)

My faith in God is not threatened by lies. We simply believe in a different God. Mine is the God of Genesis as it is written. Yours is your own creative adaptation. I used to make this error, too, until I dared to believe what God has revealed in His Word to be true. I don't have all the answers, but the One who is faithful and true does.

My faith in God is't threatened by evolution. It's too bad your faith is so weak.

I think your faith has been uprooted by evolution. Macro evolution (molecules to man) requires no God. God didn't require macro evolution.
