Thank you.

You have shown that you believe something you have no evidence of, and even in that you have mostly open questions and no answers.

How exactly did pre-Adam manlikes procreate if the first women was not created until after man was created and placed and lived in the garden for some time.

I do like how you take questions that you have no answer for and pon them off on theology. Nice.

As to my assuredness - You have lied outright about me on this. I have said repeatedly that I a fully aware of my lack of knowledge. I unlike many do not pretend to know how the system worked, I understand that we are not so big as we think we are.

"How exactly did pre-Adam manlikes procreate "

Sexually. There was a whole population of male and female creatures which preceded modern man. Somewhere along this line, God decided to elevate one of these creatures to true human status by making him a man, imbuing him with an immortal human soul and placing him in the Garden of Eden - wherever or whatever that was.

Once having done that, He then created for him his mate, a woman who was his spiritual equal. Genesis says He took a rib from Adam to do this. Its possible He did. God, obviously can do anything, that's whay He's God. I think its MORE likely He took another one of these prehuman creatures, a female one, and elevated her to human status and placed her in the Garden of Eden with Adam. Like I said before, I think God acts though the natural laws He has established to accomplish His goals. I think the rib story is another example of symbolism and allegory, intended to show how very strongly God meant a man and his wife to be connected.

Only God has all the answers. We don't even know all the questions. He gave me a Bible and He gave me a brain. I try to use the both of them to my limits as a finite creature.

Some questions are scientific ones and some are theological ones. The Bible provides answers and guides to the Theological ones and science provides answers to the scientific ones. When Bible and Science appear to conflict, we have to use our brains in an attmept to reconcile the two to the best of our limited abilities.

I mean "you" in a generic sense, i.e. Creationists in general, not in a specific sense, although you do seem as certain of some ideas of yours as I do of mine. However, everybody has a right to think as they wish.
