Pre-Adamic RacesGenesis 1:26 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.Genesis 1:27 - So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.Genesis 1:28 - And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.Genesis 1:31 - And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Does anyone believe in this?Pls give details.
The only way I'd believe in this is in the first earth age if there was a possibility of "man-like" beings running around, but that is not Adam (and his race). however, if there were such a thing, they'd be destroyed when the earth became a waste and desolation. This may the the explanation for ancient skeletons that were man-like. I use the word "may" because I am not adamant, but just consider the possibility as I am extremely open-minded about this. However, we must consider one thing: even if man-like beings were around, a fossil does not prove that it had a soul. In the bible, God breathed into the Adam and he became a living soul.From our perspective, all we need to know is that Adam is the race God created that we descended from. And for that matter, we all really descended from Noah as the world-wide flood wiped everyone else out. Genesis 10 gives the table (and thus the origins of all the nations) and the introductory passage of this chapter clearly teaches that these were sons of Noah.The apocryphal books state what I just said as well (see my links to the books of Jubilees and Jashar). As an open-minded person, I cannot just sweep these under the rug, but I find they agree nicely with the bible as long as one does not hold strange doctrines from the bible compiled from man's interpretation.

There was no flesh man as we are today in the first earth age there were ape type men/prehistoric man if you will but as science has proven they have no human DNA. Dinosaurs lived also in the first earth age However was destroyed We did exist but in our spirit Body.. that we will be changed back into at Christ return( 1 Cor.15 ) its where God foreknew us from. But flesh man in our current form did not exist until this earth age Now I do believe God created all the races on the sixth Day he told them Male and female be fruitful and replenish the earth..... Adam was put away in a Garden away from the others then God created Eve they were kept in the a special place the Garden because they were the line which Christ would come through the Adamic line ....its from this sixth day creation of the races that Cain married when he was sent to the land of Nod .............. The bible never says he married his sister this is in fact an ancient pagan fable that was added to some scripture by one man trying to answer these unanswered questions it was then picked up on by the catholic church. Further more it goes against the very nature of God to be such a poor planner he commands them replenish the earth then gives them no way to do it besides incest ... then says incest is a sin God doesn't work this way ... It is these other races of People that Cain was afraid of and why God marked him so all would know him. It defies logic to believe his parents would not recognize him or that he was welcomed back into the family after God banned him to marry his sister ......... Cain marrying his sister and what men teach of that today is Not written its just speculationAs far as Noah's flood the scripture says Two of everything with the breath of life male and female was on the ark ..surly the races had the breath of life in them they were created by God .... Only 8 in the Adamic line of Christ were on board only 8 pure bloodline of Noahbut that doesn't mean there were no other races on board ..The bible is the story of the 8 Adamic souls ...not the rest .... This is the only logical explanation for the races we have today ... Now one can believe what ever they chose here but what is commonly taught is pure speculation without any scripture support ... What I have laid out does have scripture support but admittedly it is not without gaps ... So sense the only thing that really matters to us in from the creation of Adam to Christ and from Christ to his return ... It really depends on what one chooses to believe
