...perhaps Adam was created at the end of that period of time.

If Adam was created at the end of that long period of time, then when was there time, on the sixth day, for Eve to be created.

If she was created after Adam, which the Bible says she was, then why not long ages of time for her creation too?

Adam only lived 930 years and Adam and Eve had children when Adam was 130 years old. Adam's creation took long ages of time but Eve's took significantly less than 130 years?

If you believe what the Bible says, how is the history of Adam and Eve's creation consistent with the evolutionary process?

(If Adam was created at the end of that long period of time, then when was there time, on the sixth day, for Eve to be created.)

Well, this makes complete sense if the endowment of a soul is what sets us apart from other life in God's creation. I'm not saying God could not have created her spontaneously. But, this makes sense as well.

(If she was created after Adam, which the Bible says she was, then why not long ages of time for her creation too?

Does it take a long time to give a body a spirit. Even if her spirit were given to her at birth, 130 years is plenty of time to grow up.


(Adam only lived 930 years and Adam and Eve had children when Adam was 130 years old. Adam's creation took long ages of time but Eve's took significantly less than 130 years?)

No, I did not say that Adam's creation took long ages. I said the human body, as we know it, may have taken long ages. 130 years is plenty of time when you consider that it is our spirit, our soul, that makes us human.



(If you believe what the Bible says, how is the history of Adam and Eve's creation consistent with the evolutionary process?)

I don't know that it is consistent with all that is associated with evolution. I feel that are still gaps in the process, and puzzle pieces may also have been put together incorrectly. But, I also think there is much detail not explained in Genesis. This does not mean that Genesis is incorrect.

Hmmm, 930 years? It seems they mixed up 'years' and 'months'.
Now 77 years makes a lot more sense.
