Afterthought...Aside from everything else, there has never been enough time for that according to anybody’s version of how old the Earth is, i.e. you’d need quadrillions of years and not millions or billions.
You might try looking into the aspects of pre-adamite civilization for some possible answers to that dilema. Keep in mind that the Bible never says how old the Earth is. Age determination by the geneology of Adam's descendents only gives one starting point, not all starting points.

Keep in mind that the Bible never says how old the Earth is.

The Bible says that God created the earth in 6 days and on the 7th he rested. Are we to believe that God's days were only 24 hour periods? I doubt it.
