Mankind has been around far longer than we have wanted to accept. This makes sense because it is proven by fossils that have been found.
Is that confusion to Christians? Sure it is, because Adam walked this earth around 8000 years ago but fossils of man are over 1.7 millions years old.
If mankind in Gen 1 were created just 2000 years prior, still leaves a big gap.
I have wondered for several years why would God try to confuse us when scripture says:
1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion
By searching for an answer, here is what I understand so far:
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2 And the earth was(H1961) without form, and void;
הָיָה
hâyâh
haw-yaw'
A primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, that is, be or become, come to pass
become or became
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form (wrong translation)
Gen 1:2 And the earth BECAME without form (RIGHT TRANSLATION)
1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion
I am not confused anymore!
