We are not decendants of Adam and Eve

In this blog entry, I continue to share some contents of the book 'The Science Of God' by Gerald Schroeder.

The author explained that when God created within '6 days' in Genesis 1, the '6 days' are in fact 6 different periods, each of millions of years. I will share more about this in future blog entries.

By summing the generations in the Hebrew Bible, Adam and Eve were estimated to be created around 23 October 4004 BC. Now it is really not possible for Adam and Eve to multiply and multiply and produce 15 billion human beings within 6000 years till today.

The author gave an interesting explanation on page 141 of his book.

Adam and Eve first had Cain and Abel. Cain murdered Abel, and Cain was punished. The Bible mentioned that "Adam 'had relations with his wife again' and she gave birth to a son Seth...' after another 130 years (Gen 4:25, 5:3).

The author wrote " ...the answer the Talmud supplies is that during those 130 yeaars of separation, Adam had sexual relations with other beings (the nature of those beings is not clear). From these unions came children that 'were not human in the true sense as they did not have the spirit of God...) ( I just refer them as human-without-spirit.)

Here we have ancient accepted sources (the Talmud) that describe human-without-spirit. Suddenly, cave paintings that pre-date Adam by 20,000 years...become understandable. There are human tribes on earth all along. What these humans lacked was human spirituality.

This explains that the human race did not come from Adam and Eve. The human race is there all along. Most of us belong to this human race that existed long before Adam and Eve were created.
